Threat to Blow up Holiest Christian Site?

Benjamin Netanyahu says if Israel gave up control of Jerusalem, al-Qaeda would target the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – considered by many to be Christianity's holiest site. Netanyahu leads the Likud party and is expected to win February’s general election in Israel. He says if terrorists are able to destroy the Holy Sepulchre, where it is believed Jesus was buried, it would trigger a major religious clash in the Middle East.
