One of the packages containing explosive devices may have been meant for a North Side Jewish gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender congregation.
The packages, which originated in Yemen, were intercepted late Thursday night aboard a cargo plane in Dubai, and the other in England.
The Chicago Tribune spoke with the Rabbi Michael Zedek of Edgewater’s Emanuel Congregation, which shares space with Or Chadash, a GLBT congregation. Zedel says he received a call from an official in the Jewish community Friday.
“(The official) said, ‘I’ve got some good news and some bad news,'” Zedek said. “‘The good news is that your congregation was not one (of the targets); the bad news is that Or Chadash was.'”
