ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A cemetery in Rochester, New York, has been targeted in the latest in a string of anti-Semitic incidents around the country. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspaper reported that (http://on.rocne.ws/2m0MbSo ) toppled and defaced headstones were discovered at Waad Hakolel Cemetery in northwest Rochester. Cemetery officials said Thursday there were at least a dozen desecrated grave markers. A Rochester police spokeswoman says no suspects are in custody, but authorities are investigating. About 100 headstones were recently overturned in a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia. That came about a week after a similar crime in Missouri. In Indiana, an apparent gunshot fired into a synagogue Tuesday has drawn the attention of the FBI.

Another Jewish cemetery is vandalized, this time in New York
