Two masked men in an auto sprayed gunshots at a police car at a gate to Jerusalem’s Old City, killing an Israeli policeman and wounding a passing couple, police said. Four Palestinians were arrested as suspects, police said. Police spokesman Rafi Levy said the shooting appeared to be criminal--perhaps drug-related--and not politically motivated. The attack near Jaffa Gate was expected to fuel concern among Israelis, pilgrims and tourists about continued violence in the walled Old City, which Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East War.
