Armed Palestinians reportedly trapped foreign photojournalists inside a hotel in the West Bank city of Nablus while thousands of Palestinians took to the streets to celebrate the deadly terror attacks in the United States. The journalists were forced to remain in the hotel to prevent them from covering the festivities. At least one photographer who managed to film the celebrations was told his life would be in danger if the pictures were published.
