US: Mosque torching in West Bank 'dangerous provocation'

None

The United States condemned "in the strongest possible terms" Tuesday's "provocative attack" on a mosque in the West Bank village of Jaba near Ramallah. "Hateful, dangerous, and provocative actions such as these are never justified," State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland said.
