Canada - Montreal bomber to serve 5 years total

Omar Bulphred

A Montreal resident will serve a total of five years in prison for firebombing two local Jewish institutions.

The judge sentenced Omar Bulphred, 23, to seven years in prison, but gave him 44 months' credit for the 22 months he has already served, so the sentence amounts to another 40 months, just over five years altogether.

Bulphred pleaded guilty to lobbing a Molotov cocktail at the Skver-Toldos Orthodox Jewish Boys school in September 2006 and the Ben Weider Jewish Community Centre the following April. Damage was minimal in both cases.
