Posted by orange blossom special on Fri Aug 10 10:06:39 2007, in response to Olmert meets Abbas in Jericho, posted by RonInBayside on Mon Aug 6 18:01:35 2007. A security guard shot and killed an Arabattacker in the Old City of Jerusalem on Friday after the man shot and moderately wounded another security guard, police said. Ten bystanders were lightly to moderately wounded in the shootout - apparently from the guard's gunfire - including six Jews, two Armenians and two Muslims. Police and rescue officials were on the scene, and a police source told Israel Radio that the "situation was under control." The late-morning incident occurred near the Latin Patriarchate by the Jaffa Gate, when the assailant grabbed the guard's gun and shot him twice in the chest, Jerusalem Police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said. The second guard killed the man as he tried to flee the scene. The victims of the attack were rushed by Magen David Adom paramedics to three Jerusalem hospitals. The assailant, roughly 20 years old, did not carry any documents identifying him, police said. Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski condemned the attack, saying that the city would not capitulate to attempts to undermine its security. |
