Police arrest six ultra-Orthodox Jews in J'lem after riot

Police will request that the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court extend the remand of six ultra-Orthodox youths who rioted near Bar-Ilan Junction in Jerusalem during a protest over visiting hours at a nearby cemetery, Israel Radio reported early Thursday morning.
Hundreds of religious Jews were angry at the decision to close the Sanhedria cemetery to visitors at an hour deemed by many to be too early, according to Israel Radio.
