Israel's police have opened an investigation into the alleged placing of "requests" on folded paper notes at the Yitzchak Rabin's Memorial in Rabin Square -- perhaps similar to the ones at Jerusalem's Wailing Wall.The Tel-Aviv Crime Scene Investigation Unit is examining the note to determine exactly what was written on it.
