Palestinian Authority-appointed Jerusalem Mufti Sheikh Akrama Sabri warns Israel against taking any measures in the Temple Mount area that could lead to an \"additional escalation and reaction by Moslems around the world.\" He explained that his remarks came in reaction to possible Israeli intentions to open the Temple Mount to Jewish visitors. The site has been closed to Jews since the beginning of the current violence almost six months ago. Public Security Minister Uzi Landau said yesterday that Jews should be allowed there, and that the government would have to make the final decision.
