      Jerusalem Rally Turns Violent, Police Clear Roads


      Hareidi-religious protestors clashed with police in downtown Jerusalem on Thursday as police attempted to forcibly remove them from the streets. Protestors blocked roads and burned trash cans following a court order allowing police to conduct an autopsy on the body of 25-year-old David Willinger, who was killed in a car crash earlier in the week.

      Police said protestors attacked them with bottles and rocks. No injuries were reported. Police managed to clear protestors from major roads in the area, and municipal workers arrived to clear refuse from the streets.
