Israeli police storm Al-Aqsa
Israeli police stormed Al-Asqa Mosque (Islamâs third holiest site) as worshippers protested an incursion by Jewish zealots after Friday prayer. Israeli police fired tear gas grenades at a group of Palestinians worshippers after the weekly Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest mosque in Islam, police sources said. Did they mention that it's Islam's third holiest place? No-one was injured in the incident and the police eventually evacuated a number of trespassing Jewish worshippers from the Muslim holy site where the Palestinian intifada against Israeli occupation erupted just over two years ago, following a provocative visit by then general Ariel Sharon guarded by a massive number of armed security guards. "So we, like, got indignant and stuff, and people, like, started blowing up every which way. An' it was all their fault!" Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-10-04 |
