[Al Arabiya Latest] Police arrested an Israeli man who threatened to blow himself up near parliament after he was evicted from his Jerusalem home on Tuesday, a police spokesman said.The Jewish man told officers he had come to the Knesset to protest an eviction order from his home, spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. He had threatened to ignite gas canisters in his car, but although Rosenfeld initially said it was unclear whether he had in fact rigged any explosive device before he was arrested, one gas canister was found in the car after it was searched. The man was apprehended by security at the entrance to the Knesset's parking lot at around 10 a.m., Israel's Ynet News reported, adding this is not the first time trouble has kicked off at the Knesset and in April 2008 a woman threatened to kill herself outside the building.
