MORE ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT: This AP article from Newsday.com (via Archaeologica News) has some additional details, notably a denial from the WAQF:

Israel's Antiquities Authority declined comment on the archaeologist's claims.

The Islamic Trust director denied the contention. "(Our) work was simply to consolidate the prayer area, to strengthen it," said Husseini. "There are no stones there from the Temple Mount."

A spokeswoman for the official Israel Antiquities Authority declined comment until she viewed the pictures.
