UNESCO places Nativity Church on endangered site

FILE - This circa 1947 file photo shows the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Palestine, occupied by British soldiers and mechanized units and fortified with sandbags and trucks. The Palestinians on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 made a final push to have UNESCO recognize the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in the Israeli-controlled West Bank as an endangered World Heritage site, despite misgivings by Christian denominations and a cool response from the U.N. agency. (AP Photo/James Mills)UNESCO's World Heritage committee on Thursday approved a Palestinian bid to place the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on its list of sites of World Heritage in Danger — a move seen by some nations as dangerously mixing politics and culture.
