Turkey will send inspectors to Jerusalem to check the construction site where repairs are being carried out on a collapsed foot bridge at the entrance to the Temple Mount.



Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that a technical team would inspect the site.



Olmert showed his Turkish counterpart photos of the construction work during their meeting on Thursday, but Erdogan insisted on sending inspectors to ensure no damage was being done to the nearby Al-Aksa mosque.
