Police prevent youths bearing PLO flags from reaching Temple Mount

Police prevented a group of students bearing PLO flags from reaching the Temple Mount, Saturday. The students' intent was to hold a ceremony in honor of the Palestinian Authority-sponsored event of the theme "Jerusalem - capital of Arab culture."

Elsewhere, police stalled a similar event in the Haroun el-Rashid road. Such PA-organized events are prohibited under agreements between the PA and Israel. (Efrat Weiss)
