Grand Mufti Seeks Refuge in Egypt Under King's Shelter
Haj Amin Al Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who fled from France earlier this month has taken refuge in Egypt and King Farouk reportedly grants sanctuary. Cairo sources say the king notified Britain and the mufti met with Farouk at Abdin Palace signing the visitors book and stating he has taken refuge in a palace. The move comes as violence in the Holy Land grows with 42 killed and six British officers kidnapped since Sunday amid debates over Jewish immigration to Palestine and a British American inquiry on homeless European Jews.
