Failed quest for longest sandwich

Hundreds of Palestinian volunteers spread a 750-metre bun on tables along
a dusty roadside in the West Bank city of Jenin, long a hotspot of
Israeli-Palestinian violence. But the attempt was called off on Wednesday
after health officials told them their 750-metre construction risked
rotting in the West Bank summer sun. Organisers had planned to serve the
sandwich to the poor, and said they were aiming to beat a record set in
Portugal in 2004 for a 634-metre sandwich.
