Attackers threw a makeshift explosive device at a synagogue in the centre of the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek as the city’s Jews were preparing to celebrate the Jewish New Year on Thursday.
“An explosion took place an hour before people were set to gather in the synagogue,” a member of the Jewish community told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“Bolts and nails were scattered all over during the blast”.
An official with the interior ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the late Thursday attack, adding that no-one was hurt. The makeshift bomb was tossed over a fence and law enforcement officials were now conducting a probe of the incident, the official told AFP.
