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.
