Al-Aqsa Mosque |
Palestinian security guards have foiled a Jewish gunman's attempt to infiltrate the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a Palestinian official reports.
Hatim Abdulqader, who is in charge of the Jerusalem Al-Quds portfolio in the Fatah movement told Arab Newsthat the Palestinian guards succeeded in stopping the gunman as he went up the stairs of a building adjacent to the mosque on Sunday.
The man, who had strapped a machine gun on his back, is believed to have been trying to massacre worshippers in the mosque compound, the report said.
Abdulqader added that Palestinian security forces are working round the clock to foil any Israeli attack against the mosque.
The Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage has declared that the man was handed over to the Israeli police, who later claimed that he was mad.
Adnan Al-Husseini, the governor of Jerusalem Al-Quds, said the plot “could not be carried out by a mad man.” He accused rightist Jewish movements of planning the incident.

Er is veel aan de hand. De laatste Israëlische spin is dat hamas nu Iraanse raketten heeft die Tel Aviv kunnen bereiken. Natuurlijk wordt niets bewezen. Hamas heeft ontkend. Het Israëlische bericht verschijnt wel in onze kranten.
Niet in onze kranten de oplopende spanningen aan de grens met Libanon. Er wordt over en weer geschoten, en het neemt elke dag toe.
Ook weinig in onze kranten de spanningen rond de al-Aqsa moskee, die alweer een maand lang aan de gang zijn. Hier een zeldzaam bericht met links in de NYT.
