Israeli police were forced to intervene on Sunday as Greek Orthodox
monks clashed with Armenian Apostolic clerics inside the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The ugly melee– in which punches were
thrown by clerics wearing full vestments, and candles and tapestries
were thrown to the floor– came after an alleged violation of the
detailed agreement among the different Christian groups that vie for
control over the basilica.
