Algiers -
Algeria's ambition to host the world's third largest mosque was realised on Sunday when work commenced on the foundations. When completed the North-African mosque will be the largest outside Saudi Arabia.
More than 200,000 jittery Brits have signed a petition calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to block a "mega mosque" planned for a location near London's Olympics site. A Glasgow Airport bombing suspect is supposedly a member of the funding group.
