Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas blamed hardline Jewish settlers for a fire that gutted a West Bank mosque, saying it threatened US-brokered efforts to revive the stalled peace process. Israeli officials said earlier they were working with Palestinian investigators to establish the cause of the fire, suggesting it could have been set off by a short circuit.
