Two more Jews were arrested in Baghdad several days ago, according to reliable information reaching here from the Iraqi capital. They were identified as Naim Fattal and Shua Uzeir. Their where abouts as those of the Jews previously arrested since Sept., are unknown. According to the same report, three other Iraqi Jews, whose names were not disclosed, have disappeared without a trace. There is grave anxiety about their fate.
The concern is especially acute in light of the murder of the Reuven Kashkosh family and the report of the murder of Dr. Violet Toeg and her husband in Baghdad. Some 200 people staged a spontaneous demonstration outside the Iraqi office today in protest against the murders. The demonstrators recited the Kaddish and blew the shofar.
