Israeli police briefly arrested a Palestinian presidential candidate as he campaigned on December 27, 2004 in disputed Jerusalem in the latest incident to mar the run-up to elections for a successor to Yasser Arafat . Aides to Mustafa Barghouthi said he was taken into custody while meeting Palestinians in Jerusalem`s walled Old City, which the Jewish state captured in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed as its capital in a move not recognized internationally.
