    Stadium sets area for Muslim prayer
    NEWARK -- A special area for people who want to pray will be set aside at Giants Stadium, where several Muslim fans were detained and questioned by the FBI in September.
    George Zoffinger, president of the N.J. Sports and Exposition Authority, said yesterday he agreed to designate areas to pray at the football stadium and the nearby Continental Airlines Arena.
    The FBI said it detained five Muslim men Sept. 19 because they were in a sensitive area near the stadium's main air-intake duct. The men said they had been praying, and said they believed they had been singled out because of their religion.
    Security was extra tight that night because former President Bush was on hand as part of a fundraising campaign for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
