Local JCC on alert
Warnings issued after bomb detonates in Calgary.
ROBERTA STALEY STAFF REPORTER AND ARIELA FRIEDMANN EDITOR
Vancouver's Jewish community is on alert after a parcel bomb dctonatxid but did not explode at the Calgary Jewish Centre this week, injuring a secretary.
"We sent a security notice to all the institutions and groups throughout the city alerting them to be more careful and describing the types of packages they might be particularly concerned about," said Marilyn Berger, associate director of Canadian Jewish Congress, Pacific Region.
Shortly before 10 a.m. on April 29, a female secretary in Calgary's Jewish National Fund (JNF) office received minor bums when a package she was opening detonated. She was taken to the nearby Rockyview Hospital in Calgaiy for treatment to face and hand bums, said Calgary Police Service Insp. Brendan Kapuscinski. The unidentified secretary, who is not Jewish, has since been released and is back to work.
The damage could have been more severe. "When it exploded there was large portion of the device still intact," Insp. Kapuscinski said in a telephone interview. He didn't know whether the bomb, which arrived at the JNF office April 26 but wasn't opened until April 29, was mailed or hand delivered. No one had claimed responsibility for the attack by deadline.
JNF, which also has an office in Vancouver, raises money to help plant trees and build infra-stmcture in Israel.
"We were obviously stunned and shocked. You don't expect this kind of thing to happen in Canada," said Ruth Freeman, president of JNF in the Pacific Region. "Somebody was injured so we're taking this seriously."
All Jewish agencies and organizations have been briefed about opening mail, said Mrs. Freeman. "We have been advised to be very careful." Mrs. Freeman said she has been in touch with her JNF colleagues in Calgary, but could not elaborate further other than to say the bombing was discussed.
Staff in the Vancouver office are at their desks, she said, "but everybody is fairly anxious. This matter extends beyond one's office. My name and others are list-
ed on the letterhead, so I've advised my family to be careful."
Vancouver Police Department spokespereon Const. Anne Dren-nan said the Calgary bombing is worrisome. "We're always concerned about copycat artists, which are often out there, taking this as a suggestion." That could range from someone making a fake bomb simply as a scare tactic to the real thing, Const. Dren-nan told the Bulletin.
The community should be on the lookout for lopsided or heavily wrapped packages with protruding wires or oil stains. A suspicious package often is handwritten with excessive postage and a msh label.
"If you have any reason to believe a letter or parcel is suspicious, do not take a chance or worry about possible embarrassment if the item turns out to be innocent. Contact the police and do not take chances," Const. Drennan warned.
Talmud Torah principal Hugh Burke said the Vancouver day school has had a fiiU-time security guard posted at the 465-pupil elementary school since April 30. And staff have been forbidden to open any suspicious packages. "It's important to anticipate these things, not simply to react," said Mr. Burke.
Reached in Calgary, Jewish Free Press editor Judy Shapiro reported that "Expressions of support and sympatiiy have been pouring in," coming from as far away as Israel. The chief rabbi of Kiryat Shmonah, site of many of the Katyusha attacks in north-em Israel, called and extended a personal message of sympathy, Ms. Shapiro said.
Ms. Sihapiro said she was able to enter the Calgary JCC about one hour after the bombing, but the place was "swarming with cops."
The Calgary JCC has been on high alert since the incident, but "life is back to normal," said Ms. Shapiro, noting that the centre's day care opened the next day, as did all centre offices and facilities.
In Ottawa, Justice Minister Allan Rock told reporters he found the incident "troubling," adding the the government will monitor any rise in anti-Semitism. □
