MAAN FEB 27 2012

HEBRON (Ma’an) — Unidentified arsonists set fire to a local council building on Sunday in the Hebron village of al-Ramadin.

Head of the village council Ahmad Zagharnah told Ma’an that the “perpetrators wanted to cause confusion and chaos in the village.”

Director of Hebron police Ramadan Awad visited the village, despite the fact that it is in Area C, and an investigation has been opened.

The identity of the perpetrators is still unclear.

The village, which is located in the furthest southwestern corner of the West Bank, is flanked by settlements on its northwestern and southeastern side.
