Traitor Mordechai Levy backstabs Chaim (like Chaim said on his show). May the traitor burn for this!
To Chaim: Who is the C.S. who was the informer? I hope he's in a hot place by now.

3 J.D.L. MEMBERS SEIZED IN BOMBINGS

LEAD: Three people identified as members of the Jewish Defense League were arrested for a series of bombings in the New York area since 1984.
Three people identified as members of the Jewish Defense League were arrested yesterday for a series of bombings in the New York area since 1984.
One of the attacks occurred last September at Lincoln Center, when tear gas was thrown at the Metropolitan Opera House at the opening night performance of the Moiseyev Dance Company.
The suspects, Jay Cohen, 23 years old, of Rego Park, Queens; Sharon Katz, whose age was not available, of Manhattan, and Victor Vancier, 30, of Whitestone, Queens, have been charged with conspiracy to injure foreign officials and violating Federal statutes on explosives. Each charge carries a maximum 10-year sentence, according to Andrew J. Maloney, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
According to Thomas L. Sheer, assistant director of the F.B.I. New York office, the suspects were arrested at their homes by F.B.I. agents and the police after a three-year investigation by a joint task force into terrorist activities by the Jewish Defense League. Mr. Sheer said the ''key to the investigation was a former Jewish Defense League member,'' who provided details of terrorist incidents in which he had participated, as well as recorded conversations with co-conspirators. Identified Only as 'C.S.'
During a news conference at F.B.I. headquarters in Manhattan yesterday, Mr. Sheer said that the former Jewish Defense League member, who was only identified as ''C.S.,'' had worn tape recording equipment during meetings with the three arrested suspects.
Taped conversations of the arrested Jewish Defense League members provided law-enforcement agents with statements linking them to at least six terrorist incidents dating to a Feb. 23, 1984, firebombing of an automobile parked at the Soviet residential complex in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.
In each of the incidents, Miss Katz, Mr. Cohen and ''C.S.'' were said to have acted at the behest of Mr. Vancier, who was described by Chief of Detectives Robert Colangelo as the ''self proclaimed leader of the Jewish Defense League.'' Mr. Vancier is also known as Chaim Ben Yosef, Chief Colangelo said.
In the Soviet dance company attack, Mr. Cohen is accused of tossing a tear-gas grenade into the audience during the opening performance of the Moiseyev Dance Company at the Metropolitan Opera House on Sept. 2, 1986. Twenty people were injured in that incident and the tear gas forced the evacuation of the 4,000 people in the audience, which included the Soviet delegate to the United Nations and numerous dignitaries.
According to Mr. Sheer, Jay Cohen stated during a tape recorded conversation that Sharon Katz carried the grenade into the opera house at the instruction of Mr. Vancier.
Mr. Sheer also asserted that Mr. Vancier planned the Oct. 20, 1986, firebombing of the stage door at Avery Fisher Hall, which he said was carried out by Jay Cohen. Mr. Cohen has reportedly admitted responsibility for that blast since his arrest.
A telephone call to the Jewish Defense League was returned by Mordechai Levy, who identified himself as the leader of the Jewish Defense Organization. Mr. Levy said that the league has been ''disbanded'' since 1985, and described Mr. Vancier and the two other suspects as ''independent Jewish activists.''
Mr. Levy said that his organization ''does not condone that kind of behavior,'' referring to the bombings, but added, ''We will help them if they need lawyers.''
