Jerusalem:
A Palestinian is killed and five others injured when a Jewish
settlement guard opened fire at a group of men in an Arab
neighbourhood of East Jerusalem.
The incident occurred after clashes broke out between Jewish
settlers and a number of local Palestinians in the Silwan
neighbourhood, Al Jazeera's Dan Nolan reported from Jerusalem.
Israeli policemen fired rubber-coated bullets and teargas at
stone-throwing Palestinian protesters after the shooting, leaving
several Palestinians wounded.
"Early this morning a private security guard drove in his car when
the road was blocked with garbage. Cans and stones were throne at
him from an upper level by tens of people," Mickey Rosenfeld, an
Israeli police spokesman, said.
"The security guard pulled his gun and shot dead a 32 year-old
local citizen. The man who was killed is known to the police. His
body was taken for examination. The security guard was arrested.
The investigation is still in process," he said.
Silwan, a crowded Arab neighbourhood of roughly 45,000 Arabs, is
one of the most volatile areas of East Jerusalem, which Israel
occupied in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the
international community.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
