MUSLIMS DESTROYING ANTIQUITIES AT TEMPLE MOUNT

Muslim Temple Mount Excavation Raises Archaeologists' Protests - Meron Rapoport
The Waqf Muslim religious trust is digging a ditch from the northern side of the Temple Mount compound to the Dome of the Rock, generating protests from archaeologists. The Committee for the Prevention of Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount on Tuesday criticized the use of a tractor for excavation at the Temple Mount "without real, professional and careful archaeological supervision involving meticulous documentation."
