Police are searching for an attempted arson suspect who threw Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Chicago on Sunday. The makeshift incendiary devices did not result in fire damage at Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel Congregation in the city’s Lakeview East neighborhood and no injuries were reported, according to police. Authorities are also investigating reports of car windows being smashed outside at least three other synagogues roughly 5 miles north of the Lakeview East congregation. It’s currently not clear whether the incidents are separate acts or part of an organized effort, Chicago Police Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi told HuffPost. Police released surveillance footage of the person suspected of the aggravated arson attempt at Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel Congregation.
