'anti-semitism' row escalates
LONDON —
Former London mayor Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the Labour Party after a political row unfolded over*his claim that Adolf Hitler was "supporting Zionism" before he took power in the 1930s.*
A spokesman for the Labour Party*
told the BBC the politician had been suspended "for bringing the Party into*disrepute."*
The political infighting and the media scrum grew to such a point that he hid in a toilet, with the
press shouting questions at him through the door.
