SWISS SYNAGOGUE FIRE

A fire destroyed the Sephardic synagogue Hechal HaNess in Geneva early this (Thursday) morning.

Community spokesmen have so far indicated that they think it likely that a short-circuit caused the blaze, but there is a slight possibility that it may have been set deliberately.Quote from the Swiss Jewish community electronic news letter: "Die Polizei fokussiert immer noch zwei mögliche Hauptszenarien: kriminellen Akt oder Kurzschluss" (the police are still focusing on two possible primary scenarios: criminal act or short-circuit).

The synagogue is said to be ruined entirely.
Investigation continues.
