Aug. 20.-King Abdullah's govern
ment asked the United Nations
today to blame Israel for planting
explosives near Jerusalem's holiest
places and to have expert sappers
dismantle the cache if possible.
The Israelis intended to blow
up the dump last Monday, but
didn't. The British said Israel
WOULD be responsible for any
damage done to the nearby
Church of the Holy Sepulchre and
other relics.
The British Foreign Office said
in a statement August 13 that 1t
was concerned over the damage
that might be caused by the blast

It cabled a statement to the
U. N. and delivered it to foreign
diplomats here. Jordan is not
member of the U. N. because
her application has been vetoed
by Russia. Israel is a member
The government said that il
the explosives can't be dismantled
the U. N. should see that pre-
cautions are taken to minimize
damage that might result from
detonation. Israeli authorities
have said removal Of the explo-
sives would be more dangerous
than destruction on the spot.
The four-point Jordan state
ment said: Cd THE mine was
planted in no-man's land (be-
tween Arab and Jewish military
positions) at present under U. N.
supervision" 90 From state
ments of U. N. truce observers, it
appears the mine was planted
after the final cease-fire order
of the U. N. Security Council;
CD 1T is proved that the mine
was planted in dasused sewer
passing near st. Paul's Church
and near the Mosque of

believe the explosives discovered
hitherto may be the first lot of
similar mines placed in the sew
