Local restaurant El Oriental de Cuba in Jamaica Plain was destroyed by a firebomb this week.

Boston City Councillor John Tobin visited the scene and filed this video report:




"That's our job as elected officials to get this restaurant open as soon as possible, to get the tenants back in their apartments, and build this place up better than ever. We've also offered to help find other restaurant jobs if that's what they desire. Let the Boston Police and Fire departments conduct their investigations and hope that the person or persons responsible for this outrageous act in our community are found and brought to justice."
