Paris prosecutors: No anti-Semitic motive in attack on 3 Jewish youths
By The Associated Press
Tags: France, anti-Semitism 

Paris judicial officials have decided that an attack on three Jewish youths earlier this month did not have anti-Semitic motives and charged five suspects Wednesday with voluntary violence.

The incident, which occurred on September 6 in eastern Paris, led to renewed concern that anti-Semitic attacks were rising in France. The country has western Europe's largest populations of Jews and Muslims.

A judicial official said preliminary charges of voluntary violence were filed Wednesday against five youths - two of them minors - in connection with the incident. The official, not authorized to speak publicly of the case, demanded anonymity. The charges were filed after the prosecutors office dismissed suspicions the violence was motivated by anti-Semitism.

A chestnut was allegedly thrown at the passing youths, who were wearing yarmulkes. They were beaten when they demanded an explanation.

The assault occurred on a street in a working class neighborhood of eastern Paris where a Jewish teenager was beaten in June.
