"Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki filed a report to the International Criminal Court in The Hague over the deadly arson attack in the West Bank village of Duma that killed a one-and-a-half year-old infant and seriously wounded three of his family members early Friday...
Malki added that a Palestinian team met with the ICC's prosecutor and her team, who showed great interest in the report...
The Palestinians have also filed a report with the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva over the Duma attack...
According to senior Palestinian sources, the Palestinian Authority views the file as proof of a pattern of attacks by extremists, and that the incident in Duma and the church were premeditated and not spur of the moment hate crimes.
Abbas set off to Cairo on Monday to meet with representatives from the Arab League. According to the sources, he is expected to request diplomatic support for the ICC petition."
