Palestinians Mark 'Catastrophe' of Israel's Birth

RAMALLAH, West BankĀ  - Palestinians protested across the occupied territories on the 60th anniversary of the "catastrophe" of the birth of Israel on Thursday as the Jewish state's army went on high alert.

The commemoration of the Naqba, or "catastrophe" -- the defeat of invading Arab armies and the expulsion or flight of about 760,000 people -- came as US President George W. Bush was to mark the creation of the Jewish state with an address to the Israeli parliament.
