05.08.2004 Burglars have broken into the office of a Jewish newspaper in Moscow and stolen computer hard drives and documents. Details of the break-in, which apparently took place over the weekend, were only released on Wednesday.
Yabraskaya Gazeta, considered the only independent Jewish newspaper in Russia, was forced to postpone publishing this week's issue as a result of the break-in. Employees of the paper said they weren't sure exactly when the burglary took place, but think it occurred over the weekend.
This is not the first burglary to hit the Jewish paper. Two weeks ago, two scanners were stolen from the office. However, while that burglary may have been for financial gain, this weekend's theft appeared to be an attempt to garner information. The identity of the burglars is unknown.
Among other things, the newspaper publishes articles and columns written by former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger and American Jewish columnist Charles Krauthammer.
Russian officials were not immediately available for comment.
