Scuffles as Muslims protest over holy-site renovation

Anti-riot police scuffled with demonstrators in Cairo as Muslims marched in Jordan and Lebanon to express outrage over Israeli renovation work near Islam’s third-holiest shine.

The work at a compound in Jerusalem’s Old City that is home to the golden-capped Dome of the Rock shrine and al-Aqsa mosque – sacred for Muslims, who believe the place is where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven – has angered many throughout the Muslim world.
