Palestinian driver injures two Israeli policemen

JERUSALEM: Two Israeli police officers were injured on Saturday when a Palestinian driver deliberately ran them down in an attack outside Jerusalem, police said."Two police officers were injured, one lightly in the legs but the other more seriously in the head, when a Palestinian man drove at them deliberately in his vehicle," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told. He said the incident occurred at the Hezmeh checkpoint between northern Jerusalem and the West Bank. "The 37-year-old Palestinian was arrested and said when questioned that his plan had been to kill the police officers," Rosenfeld added. On April 7, Israeli police killed a Palestinian they said tried to drive into a checkpoint near an occupied east Jerusalem village after authorities razed the home of the author of a bulldozer attack last year. The incident took place shortly after police demolished the house of Hossam Dwayyat, who went on a rampage in west Jerusalem last June, killing three Israelis
