    Fight breaks out at Jesus' birth site
    Wed Dec 28 2011 15:42

    A fight has broken out among priests at the site where Jesus is
    believed to have been born.


    Palestinian police stormed the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem
    on Wednesday after rival groups of Orthodox and Armenian clerics
    clashed in a dispute over the boundaries of their respective
    jurisdictions inside the church.


    About 100 priests and monks, armed with brooms, came to blows during
    the cleaning of the church in preparation for Orthodox Christmas
    celebrations.


    Palestinian police, armed with batons and shields, were forced to restore order.
