Hiding prayer room dig near Al-Aqsa angers Muslims worldwide
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: A Muslim prayer room has been found underneath a
ramp near Al-Aqsa mosque in Held Jerusalem. The disclosure, by Israeli
government archeologist Yuval Baruch, has fueled new controversy over
Israeli excavations at the site.
The archeologist says writing on an Israeli government website the
room was discovered in 2004, when the ramp leading to the al-Aqsa
Mosque collapsed. He says the room may have been part of an ancient
Muslim school.
According to the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot the room dates to the
11th century.
The director Adnan Husseini of the Islamic group (Waqf) that overseas
Muslim holy sites in Held Jerusalem, has criticized Israel for not
having told Muslim authorities about the find.
Israeli excavations alongside the Mughrabi ramp have sparked Muslim
protests. Islamic officials fear Israeli excavations could damage the
foundations below the mosques.
