Adnan al-Husseini said that the wall collapsed as a result of "the Israeli intervention in our work and preventing us from maintaining it after we stated it was in an urgent need for a rapid action to prevent its collapse."

The ease that these people lie with is incredible! I very disticntly heard about a year ago that Jewish archeologists and other Jewish groups that are involved with the Temple Mount were begging the Muslims to let them examine the damage that they knew was occuring before it was too late. The MUSLIMS were the ones who refused to even let them get near close enough to assess the structural damage, much less even speak of them fixing it. The lies just roll off their tounge.

Article dating back to 2001. Check out the bold print (added for emphasis by me)

A WALL OF AL-AQSA MOSQUE IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE
Palestinians refuse to cooperate with Israel to prevent collapse of Temple Mount retaining wall

(Article by Khaled Abu-Toameh, Iton Yerushalayim, 17.8.2001, p. 18) [Translated by Israel Government Press Office

Israel fears that Temple Mount retaining wall will collapse and region will burn. The problem: Aerial photographs of Temple Mount have proven that al-Aqsa Mosque's southern wall is inclined to one side. The reasons: Wear-and-tear over time, ground shifting and renovations being carried out by Waqf. The proposal: Israel proposed to assist in renovating wall but Waqf has yet to respond. Waqf: "If wall collapses, there will be general war." The municipality: "We are helpless."

Experts from Israel and other countries around the world have recently determined that one of Al-Aqsa Mosque's retaining walls is in danger of collapse. They claim that if renovations are not carried out immediately at the site, the wall is liable to collapse. Such an event, if it happens, has a vast potential for destruction and would even be liable - beyond direct losses to life that would be caused by a collapse - to ignite the Middle East. The Arab world would likely claim that the wall's collapse was the result of a religious-Israeli plot to destroy the mosques on the Temple Mount and build the Third Temple in their place.

That is what I thought as I was reading the article. This has been going on for a long time now. I heard that some Jordanian experts were charged with fixing the wall as well.
