Jordan To Build Fifth Minaret
|
|
AFP: King Abdullah of Jordan announced a contest to design a fifth minaret for al-Aqsa mosque in east Jerusalem. It would reflect the mosque’s Islamic significance, he told the committee that oversees the shrine’s maintenance.
Jordan retains custodial responsibility for the compound after ceding claims to the West Bank in favour of the Palestinians. Jews also revere the site, and when Jordan announced the plans in 2004 it said it was liaising with Israel, which has held east Jerusalem since 1967. |
