The responsibility of archaeologists inside ancient mosques are confined only to following up their conditions and prevent any encroachments on them, said archaeologist Sameh el-Zahhar.
In statements to MENA Monday, Zahhar said that the Awqaf Ministry bears all the violations related to opening the mosques all the day.
He also pointed out the incident which involved a suspected girl, who went up to the ancient minaret at Abul-Eila mosque before the explosion which took place yesterday near the Foreign Ministry.
