A prayer tent erected by Muslims close to the base of the Basilica of the
Annunciation in Nazareth. This picture, taken a year before the police
operation, shows that most of the concrete foundations had already been
laid by this stage. The Muslims claim the site as holy because it stands
next to a small tomb supposedly of Shihab a-Din, a nephew of Salah a-Din,
the nemesis of the Crusaders. (July 2002) |
