After more than 160 bomb threats at Jewish centers in North America, there is some relief, now that an arrest has been made, said the Anti-Defamation League. WBBMs Steve Miller reports

And the fact that it was a 19-year-old Jewish man?

This doesnt make us reanalyze what we have seen as a real uptick in anti-Semitism.

Lonnie Nasatir is the regional director for the Upper Midwest Region for the Anti-Defamation League.

I dont think this should just be discounted now and say, Theres no more anti-Semitism. It was done by a Jewish person,' Nasatir said. Weve seen so much in terms of cemetery desecration and what we saw at the Loop synagogue here in Chicago.

The ADL said three Jewish community facilities in Chicago and the suburbs have received bomb threats this year.
