WASHINGTON, December 12, 2009 (WAFA)- The U.S.A condemned Saturday the Friday attack on a mosque in the West Bank village of Yassouf south of Nablus.
WAFA received from the American Consulate General in Jerusalem the U.S. press statement on the attack on the Yassouf Mosque. It reads as follows: “The United States condemns the attack on the mosque in Yasuf in the strongest terms and calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.”
Extremist settlers burst at the dawn of Friday 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.
