Palestinian PM promises probe of police beatings at protest

RAMALLAH -- The Palestinian prime minister promised on Monday to investigate the violent dispersal of an anti-government protest by Palestinian riot police.

 

In Sunday's incident, helmeted troops beat demonstrators and journalists with clubs during a protest against President Mahmoud Abbas and his policy of security coordination with Israel. Abbas heads the Palestinian Authority which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
