Netanyahu attacked at wedding

A small group vehemently opposed to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw Israelis from the Gaza Strip shouted at Netanyahu: "Murderer, your day will come" in the Thursday evening incident, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth said.

Reports said a plate was thrown at Netanyahu, now finance minister, at the wedding in the ultra-Orthodox village of Kfar Habad near Ben Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv and a police spokesman said a tire on his car was slashed.

Wedding guests held back the assailants as security guards whisked away Netanyahu, 55, in another vehicle.

"We believe that the heckling was carried out by up to three minors although nobody has been arrested yet," police spokesman Gil Kleiman told Reuters.
