Palestine-Regional, Politics, 8/23/2004

Secretary General of the Islamic World Association, Abdullah al-Turki, Sunday urged the international community to "put an end to the Zionist terrorist organizations which plot to destruct and remove the holy mosque of al-Aqsa in Jerusalem."

In a statement commemorating the 35th anniversary of burning al-Aqsa at the hands of the Israeli extremists, al-Turki warned against "new Zionist plots to remove the holiest mosque in Islam."

" Burning al-Aqsa at the hands of an extremist Zionist in Aug, 1969 was a reflection of a Zionist plan which aimed at removing the mosque," al-Turki said adding that any destruction or desecration to the religious places in Jerusalem is a violation to the international law and convention.

He urged Muslims all over the world to unify their stances to "confront the Zionist plots and practices.".
