Force in Play

Ordered expanded security at Jewish sites

Four attacks on Jewish buildings across three countries in six days. An explosion at a synagogue in Liege, Belgium on March 9 was followed by a strike in Greece, an arson bombing at a Rotterdam synagogue on March 13, and an overnight blast at Amsterdam's only Orthodox Jewish school on March 14. No one has been killed, but the tempo is accelerating: the Amsterdam and Rotterdam attacks came less than 24 hours apart.
