Supreme court orders construction of wall suspendedAssociated Press
Jerusalem — Israel's Supreme Court on Sunday ordered the government to suspend work for one week on a section of the West Bank security barrier around eight Palestinian villages, an attorney said.
The decision followed a bloody protest last week against the barrier by people who live in the area northwest of Jerusalem. Israeli troops fired live ammunition at the crowd, killing two people.
Meanwhile, Israeli security forces arrested three Palestinian youths in the West Bank who planned to carry out a suicide attack out of anger over the barrier, relatives said Sunday.
