[ABC News] – Israeli police officers on Saturday shot dead two knife-wielding [Arab Muslim terrorists] in response to separate stabbing attacks against Israeli officers, police said, before a third attack against police forces later in the day left three officers injured.

In the first incident, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said a 17-year-old east Jerusalem resident named Ali Mohammed Abu Ghannam approached a roadblock with a butcher’s knife and tried to attack officers there.
