Condolences: Abu Ammar (1929-2004)

As someone, who -- for nearly two and half years -- had lived just 15 kms away from where Mr. Arafat's office was, someone whose life had indirectly been affected by the consequences of the Middle-East conflict, and as one who had the chance to partly witness/listen to both sides of the argument first hand, I hereby express my condolences at the death of Yasser Arafat, a person much loved by many and hated by many others, who was nevertheless an Icon.

The world will surely miss the most prominent Kaffiyeh in the coming years!
