	Louis Galea, World Monuments Fund cross swords
		The mystery surrounding the non-appearance of a $50,000 grant awarded to Malta by the World Monuments Fund for the conservation of the Mnajdra Temples deepened yesterday, with the WMF strongly rebutting claims made by Culture minister Louis Galea that it was partly responsible for the delay.
		The WMF, in contrast, had maintained that it had been unable to release the grant to help conserve the temples, which were extensively vandalised on Good Friday, because a project plan had not been submitted; a revelation that inevitably sparked outrage, due to the neglected state of the megalithic stones.
		The news that the WMF had awarded the Maltese authorities a grant to help in the conservation of the Mnajdra Temples, but had not yet released the funds, further heightened the outrage that the public felt when the stones were vandalised.
