Abbas Condemns Settlers Attack on West Bank Mosque

RAMALLAH, December 11, 2009 (WAFA)- President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Friday Jewish settlers attack at dawn on a mosque of the  West Bank village of Yassouf south of Nablus.

In a statement, the President said that the settlers aggression violates the freedom of worshipping and the sanctity of the holy places.

Extremist settlers burst into the mosque and burned prayer carpets and a book stand with Muslim holy texts, and left graffiti on the floor reading, 'Price tag - greetings from Effi'. Effi is a Hebrew name. Then the vandals escaped, while the Israeli Occupation Forces have done little to protect Palestinian civilians from the settlers.
