Dozens of baton-wielding policemen blocked about 200 Jewish protesters chanting “Death to terrorists!” from rampaging through Jerusalem’s Arab sector to protest the stabbing of two Israeli brothers, officials reported. Avi Ohayon, 24, and his brother, Shalom, 16, were hospitalized Saturday because of their wounds. In Damascus, Syria, a splinter Palestinian faction led by terrorist mastermind Abu Nidal claimed responsibility for the stabbings. Police arrested three Israelis suspected of retaliatory attacks on Arabs.
