SYNAGOGUE SMEARED WITH HATE SLOGANS

Vandals painted Nazi slogans and swastikas on a synagogue and other buildings in the Bavarian city of Ansbach hours before a visit by the head of Germany's Jewish community Tuesday.

Extremists have vandalized Jewish cemeteries and synagogues in dozens of German cities since reunification in October 1990, but it appeared this was the first time someone painted hate slogans to confront Ignatz Bubis, head of the Central Council Jews in Germany.
