ROCK & ROLL AND GUNMEN TOO!

Palestinian Gunmen Shoot at West Bank Rock Concert (AP/Ha'aretz)
Shooting in the air, dozens of masked Palestinian gunmen from the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades cut short a rock concert in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday by Ammar Hassan, who won second place in the "Superstar 2" competition on the Lebanese TV channel al-Mustaqbal. The singer was whisked onto stage 45 minutes late by bodyguards, and opened his show with a song about "holy Jerusalem" in an effort to appease the gunmen. Palestinian policemen did not make any moves to arrest the gunmen but tried to persuade them to calm down.
