TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH:
Plots sold to Muslims near Temple Mt. (Jerusalem Post)
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

The Arab chairman of a committee that serves as a go-between between police and east Jerusalem residents is selling burial plots to Muslims just outside the walls of the Temple Mount in an area classified by the state as an archeological site and national park, according to a petition filed Thursday with the High Court of Justice by a right-wing activist.

The committee chairman said he had helped police resolve disputes over a handful of graves at the site in the past but denied any involvement in the recent sales of plots there.

The claim is that a sting operation was involved. If the accusation is true, this isn't good.
