UK Envoy Attacked at West Bank University
(Ma'an News-PA) Palestinian students at Birzeit University near Ramallah on Tuesday attacked the car of British Consul-General Sir Vincent Fean, smashing a mirror. After he left a meeting with university president Khalil al-Hindi, students approached him chanting and screaming. Upon returning to his car, students attacked it with rods causing minor damage before the driver sped away. Fean was scheduled to take part in a symposium at the university. A representative for the British Consulate in Jerusalem said, "Sir Vincent had hoped to underline Britain's deep commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state, and the urgency of progress on the peace process in 2013."
