Israeli police arrest attacker at Christian shrine
JERUSALEM
Police spokesman Shmulik Ben Ruby said the man waved a knife at
people visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Friday evening.
He said a police officer on duty nearby ordered the man to put the
weapon down and shot him in the leg when he failed to do so.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment. Nobody else was
hurt in the incident.
Ben Ruby said the attack did not appear to be politically
motivated. No further details, including the nationality of the
tourist, were immediately available.
Many Christians believe Jesus was crucified, buried and then
resurrected at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
