Another Jew Kidnapped and Abused in Paris Suburb

A Jewish teenager was held captive and abused by six men in a Paris suburb where another French Jew was kidnapped and fatally tortured two years ago, police said on Wednesday. However, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office in the suburb of Bagneux said the latest incident, which came to light this week, did not appear to be racially motivated.

"The motive was theft," said Martine Marchand-Prochasson, chief of staff of Mayor Marie-Helene Amiable.
