AP directs its staff in memo earlier not to use the term "Ground Zero Mosque"


AP directs its staff in memo earlier not to use the term "Ground Zero Mosque." Instead, They should call it the "BC-NYC Mosque" or:
_ mosque 2 blocks from WTC site
_ Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site
_ mosque near ground zero
_ mosque near WTC site

From AP:
