France - Cars launched at synagogue in Toulouse

Attackers launched two cars packed with petrol bombs at a synagogue in France's south-western city of Toulouse , causing damage but no casualties, officials said.
One car was set on fire and pushed by the other until it hit the door of the synagogue, at a time when about a dozen people were attending a class with a rabbi. The building caught fire but all those inside escaped unharmed.
Police found unexploded petrol bombs inside the second car, which did not catch fire. They said they were investigating the attack and had not made any arrests.
