UN inspectors got their first look Sunday inside a once-secret uranium enrichment facility that has raised Western suspicions about the extent of Iran's nuclear program.JPOST:
The semiofficial Mehr news agency reported the four-member team visited the heavily protected facility, carved into a mountainside south of Teheran. The tour marked the first independent examination of the site, but no results were expected until after the inspectors leave Iran later this week.
Nine police officers and a foreign reporter were lightly wounded Sunday during clashes between security forces and Arab rioters in the capital.JPOST:
Police were forced to enter the Temple Mount twice during the the day of fierce rioting, and were met by a hail of rocks and a firebomb.
... Early Sunday afternoon, Arab youths hurled rocks at police in the alleyways of the Muslim Quarter, also burning garbage and pieces of wood in the streets. There were also clashes in the nearby neighborhood of Ras el-Amud, where riots ended shortly after midday.In total, 18 Arab rioters were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and violence against police officers. Among them were Ali Abu Sheikha, of the Islamic Movement's northern branch, and Khatem Abd al-Kader, holder of the Jerusalem dossier in Fatah, who was banished from the Old City earlier in October on charges of inciting riots.
Although police had earlier said they were bracing for the possibility of renewed clashes, no restrictions had initially been placed on Muslims entering the Temple Mount for Sunday prayers, or on visitors who arrived in the morning to tour the compound.
However, following the early morning clashes, access to the site was restricted to Muslim women, and men over 50 holding Israeli ID cards.
After security forces clashed on Sunday with Muslim rioters on the Temple Mount and elsewhere in east Jerusalem, police blamed Hamas and the Islamic Movement for once again inciting Israel's Arab population to violence in the capital.
"Throughout the day, very large groups of Arab residents of east Jerusalem and other Israeli Arabs have come to the area at the encouragement of the Islamic Movement," Police Chief Commissioner Insp.-Gen. David Cohen told reporters. "I urge them (the Islamic Movement) to show restraint and not to incite."
Cohen went on to say that police would deal with all rioters on the Temple Mount as well as the inciters "with a strong hand."
Police also released a separate statement blaming Hamas for inciting violence in a bid to "disrupt order on the Temple Mount."
[UPDATE: SCOOPED WEASEL ZIPPERS BY 8 HOURS WITH THIS.]
THIS VIOLENCE - AND THE INCREASE IN VIOLENCE IN PAKISTAN, AND AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ - IS ALL INSTIGATED, PLANNED AND COORDINATED IN TEHRAN:
THE MORE PRESSURE IS PUT ON IRAN OVER THEIR NUKE PROGRAM THE MORE DIVERSIONARY VIOLENCE THEY DEMAND FROM THEIR STOOGES.
HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND THE TALIBAN ALL MARCH ACCORDING TO ORDERS FROM TEHRAN - THEIR PRIMARY SPONSOR.
GLOBAL JIHAD IS NOT PLANNED IN SOME CAVE IN WAZIRISTAN.
GLOBAL JIHAD IS PLANNED IN TEHRAN.
