Historic Muslim graves destroyed in al-Quds


The Al-Aqsa Foundation said Tuesday that extremist Zionists vandalized 20 graves in the historic Mamen Allah ('Mamilla') cemetery west of al-Quds ('West Jerusalem') overnight Monday.

The foundation said one of its officials, Fawwaz Hasan, visited the cemetery and found some graves completely destroyed while the tombstones had been removed from others.

The attack was "another chain in the series of abominable acts" committed against the cemetery, the organization said.

The Mamen Allah cemetery is believed to date as far back as the 7th century. Companions of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.) were reputedly buried there, as well as thousands of other officials, scholars, notables and families.

In 2009, over 1,500 graves were disinterred by Israel to make way for a controversial 'Museum of Tolerance', funded by the US Simon Wiesenthal Center.
