Israeli FM targeted at wedding
Right-wing extremists tried to attack Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a wedding he was attending but he was not injured, Israeli police said on Friday. A small group of people vehemently opposed to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw Israelis from occupied Gaza shouted at Netanyahu "Murderer, your day will come" in the Thursday evening incident, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said. Reports said a plate was thrown at Netanyahu at the wedding in the Jewish ultra-Orthodox village of Kfar Habad and a police spokesman said a tyre on his car was slashed. The assailants tried to attack Netanyahu, 55, but were held back by wedding guests as his security guards whisked him away from the scene in another vehicle.Posted by: Fred 2005-02-12 |
