Japanese tourists Yuji Nakano(L) and Mina Takashi sit in the damaged Madbasseh square in the Old City of Bethlehem as they try to visit the Church of Nativity April 17, 2002. The pair were so engrossed in their guide book they did not notice they had wandered into a war zone. It was only when news photographers in flak jackets and helmets spotted the oblivious couple and pointed out the bullet-pocked buildings and military hardware that they decided to call off their trip to the Christian shrine.
