PA police rescue US delegation attacked by Palestinians
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn the second incident of its kind in recent weeks, a US delegation visiting the West Bank has to be rescued by Palestinian Authority policemen, after being attacked by Palestinian protesters.
Today’s incident takes place outside the offices of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Research Survey in Al-Bireh, the twin city of Ramallah.
Members of a US delegation visiting the premises are forced to leave under police protection, after scores of Palestinian activists threaten to expel them by force.
PA anti-riot policemen, some of them wearing masks covering their faces, escort the US guests to a police van, taking them to a secure location.
