00:00Dutch police were searching for two suspects on Saturday after an explosion damaged the exterior wall of a Jewish school
00:08in Amsterdam.
00:09The police said they have CCTV footage of a person placing the explosive device, adding that an investigation has been
00:16opened.
00:18The explosion only caused minor damage and police and firefighters arrived at the scene quickly, the city's mayor Femke Halsma
00:25said, adding that there were no injuries reported.
00:28She called the incident a targeted act of aggression against the Jewish community, which she said is increasingly facing anti
00:35-Semitism.
00:36The statement was later echoed by Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
00:40We don't know exactly what the context is and what the motives are.
00:43What I can say is that it is unacceptable what happened here tonight.
00:48The explosion followed other recent attacks on Jewish institutions worldwide.
00:53Security in the Netherlands had already been heightened after an overnight arson attack at a synagogue in the center of
00:59Rotterdam on Friday.

01:05and on Thursday, an assailant rammed his car into a synagogue on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan.
