Several neo-Nazi groups and the secretive Islamic Jihad (Holy War) claimed responsibility for the bombing of a Paris theater holding a Jewish film festival that injured 18 people, three seriously. Nearly 2,000 people protested the bombing at the Rivoli-Beaubourg Theater Friday as part of an anti-racist demonstration that had been previously called to protest the murder of a young Arab in southern France a week ago. Jewish groups planned to protest the bombing today.
