Mughrabi Bridge to Temple Mount in Jerusalem Closed Due to Safety Concerns
(Jerusalem Post) Melanie Lidman - Officials closed the Mughrabi Bridge leading from the Western Wall plaza to the Temple Mount on Sunday after the Jerusalem city engineer, Shlomo Eshkol, warned that the temporary bridge is unsafe. Repair work on the bridge in 2007 touched off widespread Muslim rioting in Jordan and Jerusalem and calls for a third intifada. Most people agree that the bridge is indeed dangerous to use, and that closing it is not a political move.
