      Arab MKs Wounded in Riot


      Two Arab MKs were among those present at an anti-Israel riot in the Galilee on Thursday afternoon.  The MKs, Wasel Taha and Mohammed Barakeh, both claim they were lightly wounded in clashes with police.

      The riot broke out as hundreds of Israeli Arabs finished a rally mourning the establishment of the state of Israel.  Rioters threw stones at police officers, wounding five, and called for violence against Jews.  Police arrested six rioters.  Police officials said Thursday night that they would find the organizers of the rally and bring them in for questioning.
