Riots Break Out in Jerusalem

The Al-Aqsa Mosque
Riots broke out in Jerusalem, on Friday outside of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The riot began after an Israeli police officer picked up and handed a Quran to a Muslim woman, who had dropped it.

He and other officers were then attacked, and both sides called for reinforcements.

Rioters threw gas bombs, rocks, and other objects at police who responded with stun grenades and tear gas.

Several police and rioters were injured in the violent clash.
