A man has been arrested and charged with one count of attempted use of fire to damage a building after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at a New Jersey synagogue
Nicholas Malindretos, 26, of Clifton, will appear in federal court in Newark on Thursday for an initial appearance, the US Attorney’s Office in the District of New Jersey said in a news release. A suspect lit and threw a Molotov cocktail at the front door of Temple Ner Tamid around 3 a.m. Sunday and fled the scene, according to Bloomfield Police officials. The bottle broke, but did not cause any damage to the building, police said.
It includes a preschool and a K-12 religious school, according to its website. The synagogue describes itself as a “welcoming, diverse, and musical Reform congregation where members connect with their heritage while thinking progressively about the present.” Police in Livingston, New Jersey, said they would increase patrols of temples in the area as a result of the attack. Livingston is about 8 miles west of Bloomfield. No other temples were affected, Bloomfield police told CNN.

Judge blocks New Jersey ban on guns at beaches, casinosA federal judge on Monday blocked New Jersey's recently enacted bans on carrying guns at beaches or casinos, though she left in place other restrictions passed by the state in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year expanding gun rights nationwide. The order from U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb in Camden, New Jersey, came in response to a lawsuit brought by seven people and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs challenging parts of a law signed by Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in December. 'This marks the beginning of the end for Governor Murphy's blatantly unconstitutional new carry law, which is going down in flames,' said Scott Bach, executive director of the association, in a statement.
