    "The driver of the car opened fire at the police
    station and the policemen returned fire. Clashes took place
    an d the attacker was arrested. One policeman was wounded
    in the attack," Captain Hani Maeen said.

    the hospital after the shooting.

    Describing the attack Mustapha Nizar said: "The
    shootings started suddenly, but I do not know where they
    came from. When I heard shooting I took cover."
