MONTREAL - Prime Minister Paul Martin has called the attack on a Jewish elementary school in Montreal "an act of violence directed at all Canadians" that will not be tolerated.
Martin joined community leaders and police in condemning the attack on the United Talmud Torah elementary school. "The attack against a place of learning, where young children gather, is an offence against everything that Canadians cherish. But the assault was not directed against the Jewish community of Montreal. It was an act of violence directed at all Canadians and at our freedom."

Police say a fire in the school library early Monday morning was deliberately set – and they're calling it a hate crime.
Workers spent the day vacuuming up the water left by firefighters, but the library is beyond hope. The room is black and charred and almost all the books are destroyed. Police say the fire started after someone threw a flammable substance through the library window.
At the front door police found a note referring to the Middle East, but they won't give any more details.
