Qal'at Busr
قلعة بسر
Qal'at Busr, a castle near a town called Majjana by the silver mine, among Qayrawan's works; Busr ibn Abi Artat opened it in Uqba ibn Nafi's governorship — or, some say, Musa ibn Nusayr sent him to it aged eighty-two — killing and capturing, whence it bears his name to this day.
