Paris kosher store destroyed by fire on attack anniversary
9 January 2018
Officials in France are investigating a suspected arson attack on a kosher grocery store in a suburb of the capital, Paris.
The incident took place on the third anniversary of a deadly attack by an Islamist gunman on a kosher supermarket in Paris.
The burned grocery store was recently defaced with Nazi swastikas.
It comes amid fears among France's Jewish community about high levels of anti-Semitism.
The Promo & Destock store in the southern suburb of Créteil was completely destroyed by the fire in the early hours of Tuesday.
