An Israeli couple entered the Church of the Nativity on Saturday threatening to blow themselves up, according to a priest at the church. The man was holding a rifle and his wife appeared to be wearing an explosives vest, Father Barnodos said. The couple apparently made similar threats in the past at the church and were arrested by Palestinian police. Police say they believe the threats originate from a child care issue. Police were negotiating with the couple. The Army says the man has a history of similar threats. The man is believed to be Jewish, while his wife is believed to be Christian.
And both are believed to be off their rockers. Is there something in the air that drives these people off the deep end? |
