the crime. Actually, Israel police
had the man's description from
Arab guards of the mosque who
said that they had seen a suspi-
cious character in the vicinity a
few times before. Jerusalem police
apprehended the suspect in a few
hours. He turned out to be an

Apparently it made little dif-
ference to the sheikh that the
repairs carried out at the
mosque before the fire were to
fix the damages caused by a fire
that broke out in the same place
four years ago, while the site
was under Jordanian rule. Nor
did he seem to realize that the
first fire brigades on the spot
came from the Arab part of the
city and that the operation was
under the command of Sami
Mustaklem. Arab fire chief of
East Jerusalem. Mustaklem told
newsmen and television cameras
that he was also in charge of
combating the fire four years
ago, when things were easier
because the mobs did not inter-
fere with the operations.
