Jerusalem:
Unknown attackers attempted to torch a West Bank mosque and
sprayed it with Hebrew-language graffiti early today, in an
incident that bore the hallmark of extremist Jewish colonists.
“In the middle of the night …
somebody entered the mosque, broke the window and threw a match
causing a fire,” a resident of the village of Jaba, between
Occupied Jerusalem and Ramallah told Israeli army radio.
“They wrote in Hebrew, ‘The war has
begun,’ and ‘Pay the price’,” said the man, identified by the
radio as Shaikh Datoun. Neighbours saw the fire, ran to the mosque
and put it out,” he said.
Israeli police told AFP that they
had yet to carry out a forensic investigation but there were signs
pointing to settler activists.
