Jewish Center, Saudi Airline Office Bombed

FRANKFURT, West Germany — A bomb exploded in front of the Frankfurt Jewish Community Center shortly after midnight Sunday, and minutes later another blast ripped through the downtown office of Saudi Arabia’s Saudia Airlines, police said.

There were no casualties in either explosion, but the airline office was heavily damaged and a Volkswagen bus parked in front of the Jewish Community Center was destroyed, police said.

Police spokesman Hans Neitzel said there were no immediate claims of responsibility.

“It’s a mess inside the (Saudia) airline office,” said another police spokesman, adding that the adjacent offices for Air Canada also were damaged.
