Report: Mumbai Chabad House gets letter warning of attack

Chabad House where 6 people were killed in a terror attack gets hand-written letter with Hitler photo.

The Chabad House in Mumbai, India, that was the site of a terror attack one year ago has received an anonymous letter warning of another attack.

Israeli media reported that the hand-written letter included a picture of Hitler and included the message "Israel is dogs. We will strike again ? heil, Hitler."

The Mumbai Chabad House was one of several places attacked by suspected Islamic gunmen in the November 26-29 attacks. A commando assault ended the two-day siege that killed all six people inside the building, including Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka.

Israel's Counter-Terrorism Bureau in mid-December canceled a two-month-old advisory against travel to India, citing a drop in the threat of terror in that region.

The Bureau on Thursday had warned Israelis in mid-October about a concrete threat of a possible terror attack, particularly in the Goa area.

The bureau had issued a similar warning ahead of the Jewish New Year saying that Israelis throughout India could be targeted by terrorists.

The threat included groups of Western tourists in general, said the Bureau, which also cited Chabad centers and synagogues in the country where Jews and Israelis congregate.
