One wall collapsed in al-Aqsa Mosque

Palestine-Israel, Politics, 9/24/2003

The Islamic al-Awqaf department in Jerusalem have accused the Israeli authorities of being behind the collapse of an internal wall in al-Aqsa mosque yesterday after it had prevented its engineers form maintaining it.

The collapsed wall is situated near the Islamic museum on a hill in old Jerusalem where the mosque is situated. This wall is considered new in comparison to other parts of the mosque.

The director of the Islamic Awqaf in Jerusalem Adnan al-Husseini said that the wall collapsed as a result of "the Israeli intervention in our work and preventing us from maintaining it after we stated it was in an urgent need for a rapid action to prevent its collapse." <<

De mortui & all that.

I caught the tail end of something on NPR a few minutes ago, probably about Said, saying "the esteemed scholar died yesterday." Followed by a tasteful little elegiac snippet of orchestral horn wail, the kind one heard a lot of after 9/11 and during the war in Iraq. And I thought of you. ;^)

BTW, speaking of NPR, finished Bobos in Paradise last night, pretty funny.
