Two Palestinians were arrested Friday at a checkpoint outside of Jerusalem after three firebombs were found in their possession, police said.

The two 20-year-old suspects told police interrogators they had heard on the news that a group of Jewish extremists were preparing to ascend the Temple Mount, and that they were planning to use explosives against them, Jerusalem Police spokesperson Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.

Well spotted.
