The Committee to Prevent the Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities laments yet again that despite police reports, the Moslem Waqf continues with its excavation and construction work on the Mount, causing damage to 2,000-year-old Jewish artifacts. The committee sent off an urgent letter to Prime Minister Sharon, saying that the Moslems are in the process of building a large monument on the Mount in memory of Feisal Husseini, and are damaging ancient water cisterns while refurbishing the Al Aksa Mosque.
The police, according to the Committee, are not preventing them from bringing construction materials to the site. Two months ago, Public Security Minister Uzi Landau informed the Committee that he had instructed the police not to allow the Waqf to bring such materials to the Mount.
