Palestinians accuse settlers after fire erupts at West Bank mosque
An Israeli police spokesman says incident was being investigated; Nablus governor calls incident \part of a series of aggressions by settlers in the area'.

<snip>

"Fire erupted at a mosque near the West Bank city of Nablus before dawn on Tuesday, in what Palestinian villagers were quick to describe as arson on the part of Israeli settlers.

The damage to the mosque, inside a school building in Hawara village, included broken windows, blackened walls and burnt carpets.

"This is part of a series of aggressions by settlers in the area. We have warned in the past and we warn again that settlers want to drag the area into a cycle of violence," said Nablus Governor Jibreen al Bakri."

"Last year, mosques were torched in the Palestinian villages of Kfar Yasuf and Bayt Fajar."
