Vandals torch second Palestinian mosque (AP)

Israeli soldiers walk past a wall with a Hebrew graffiti reading 'Price Tag', as they approach a torched car, not pictured, in the West Bank village of Yasuf near Nablus, Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011. Unknown arsonists torched an inactive Jerusalem mosque early Wednesday, provoking calls in Israel for a more effective crackdown on Jewish extremists suspected in a string of increasingly brazen acts of violence, that in recent months have expanded from the West Bank into Israel proper. Also Wednesday, cars in two West Bank villages were torched by Jewish extremists, Palestinian witnesses say. The term 'price tag' refers to a settler policy of revenge for Israeli government operations against settlers. (AP Photo/Nasser Ishtayeh)AP - Vandals set fire to a mosque in the West Bank on Thursday and defaced it with Hebrew graffiti a day after a similar arson attack on a Jerusalem mosque. Suspicion fell on Jewish extremists widely assumed to be behind stepped-up violence against Palestinians and the Israeli military.
