Deadly Shooting at Arafat Mourning Tent in Gaza City
Nov 14, 2004 Jerusalem
A shooting at the tent set up for mourners at the grave of Yasser Arafat in the West Bank city of Gaza City has left two security guards dead and four others injured. The gunfire erupted just as Mahmoud Abbas, the man who succeeded Mr. Arafat as head of the PLO arrived at the tent.
The shooting went on for several minutes as Mahmoud Abbas arrived late in the day at the mourning tent set up near the grave of Yasser Arafat in the Muqata compound in Gaza City. Witnesses said gunfire started about five minutes after Mr. Abbas arrived.
Associated Press Television News pictures showed a group of about 20 men entering the mourning tent where Mr. Abbas, former Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan and other key Palestinian leaders had come to mourn.
The gunmen, clad in green, shouted "Abbas and Dahlan are agents for the Americans." Gunfire then tore through the tent.
Mr. Abbas was hustled into a corner and thrown to the ground by his bodyguards as frightened mourners fled. He was quickly taken away from the scene and then left the Muqata compound.
There have been widespread fears that Mr. Arafat's death could trigger an outbreak of chaos and lawlessness.
Senior Palestinian leaders close to Yasser Arafat have moved quickly to ensure a calm transition of power prior to elections, now scheduled to be held by January 9th. Mahmoud Abbas has assumed leadership of the P.L.O., but he has little grassroots support and is not popular among militant Palestinians who oppose his rejection of the use of violence to achieve political ends.
Sunday's clash underscores fears that the factional violence already plaguing the Gaza Strip could spread to the West Bank and undermine the interim collective leadership of Palestinian moderates who are leading Palestinians towards elections for a successor to Yasser Arafat.
