Inspectors 'violated' Iraqi mosque

An Iraqi cleric has accused United Nations weapons experts of seeking to provoke Muslims by inspecting his mosque in Baghdad.

Sheikh Qutaiba Ammash, the imam of the al-Nidaa mosque, said that a team of inspectors had "profaned" the mosque on Monday.

I'd say that Blixie's boys just hit paydirt, wouldn't you?
If these Iraqis are like their Muslim brothers at the Finsbury Park mosque in London (where the police "out of respect" didn't check the hot part in a raid earlier this week), they might have stumbled onto Baghdad's Manhattan Project if the UNMOVIC team had "profaned" it a little more!
