Jewish Cemetery in Switzerland Vandalized

ZURICH, Switzerland —
Vandals overturned more than 100 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery in Zurich, the second desecration of a burial ground for Jews in the city this year.
Police spokesman Bruno Kistler told a local radio station that two people were seen running from the cemetery this weekend, but police had no clue about their identities.
Kistler said authorities did not publicize a similar incident in February, fearing it might set off copycat crimes.
