Anti Semitic mob storms airport in Russia’s Dagestan

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

Israel has urged its citizens to leave the northern Caucasus region of Russia – after last night’s violent riot in Dagestan – when a mob stormed through an airport, hunting for Jewish people.

The airport has now been reopened, but the authorities said flights from Israel would be “temporarily redirected” elsewhere. Sixty people have been arrested – while the Kremlin blamed “outside interference” without supplying any evidence.
