Police postpone opening of new station in West Bank

Police said yesterday they had postponed today's planned opening of a new police station in the E-1 area between Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim.
The project would link the capital with Ma'aleh Adumim and could sever a future Palestinian state from its intended capital in East Jerusalem
Public Security Minister Avi Dichter stressed that the postponement is unrelated to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to Israel, with which the station's planned opening would have coincided.
The U.S. has strongly opposed Israeli construction plans in the area.
Dichter added that the police's Judea and Samaria district would still use the station, as had been planned. His office stated that the delay stemmed from bureaucratic reasons and administrative work which has yet to be completed.
