March 14 (UPI) -- An explosion early Saturday at a Jewish school in Amsterdam was a "targeted attack" fueled by anti-Semitism, the city's mayor said.
It was the second attack on Jewish institutions in the Netherlands in as many days.
A statement from Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said a suspect detonated an explosive device along the outer wall of a school in the neighborhood of Buitenveldert. She said there was limited damage to the facility and no injuries reported.
"This is a cowardly act of aggression towards the Jewish community," she said. "I understand the fear and anger of Jewish Amsterdammers. They are increasingly confronted with anti-Semitism, and that is unacceptable.
"A school must be a place where children can receive lessons safely. Amsterdam must be a place where Jews can live safely."
