Rioters damage Jazeera office
[Ma'an] An angry crowd on Monday vandalized the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera's Ramallah office, onlookers said.
Security forces stepped in after a dozen youths broke a security gate at the building before entering it and sprayed graffiti. Al-Jazeera International correspondent Alan Fisher wrote on his Twitter page that no one was injured before police arrived.
Footage of the incident posted on YouTube later Monday showed a handful of young Paleostinians shouting and chanting slogans at Al-Jazeera's staff. One tells a photographer to stop filming.
Making friends and influencing people, wherever they go. It's the Palestinian way. |
