Palestinian stabs three Israelis, is shot dead

A Palestinian from the occupied West Bank stabbed and wounded three Israelis in Jerusalem's Old City on Saturday before being shot dead by border guards, police said. The suspect attacked two Jewish passers-by before fleeing. He later wounded a border guard before he was shot dead. Two of the Israelis were lightly wounded and the third was in a more serious condition, according to police.
Clashes broke out afterwards between stone-throwing Palestinians and police officers who used stun grenades, an AFP photographer said. It was the second such attack in days near Damascus Gate, a main entrance to the Old City. On Wednesday, a Palestinian woman said to be the mother of a man killed last year tried to stab Israeli police with scissors before being shot dead.
