US First Lady Laura Bush has been heckled by both Jewish and Muslim protesters during a visit to Jerusalem's holy sites.
As she slipped a note between stones of the Western Wall, Jewish protesters demanded the release of an Israeli jailed in the US for spying for Israel.
At the nearby Dome of the Rock mosque, Palestinians said she was not welcome.
The Temple Mount, known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif, is Judaism's holiest site and Islam's third holiest.
A visit there by Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2000 sparked the current Palestinian intifada.
