Arafat to be buried at West Bank HQ
Yasser Arafat will be buried at the battered West Bank headquarters that had been his virtual prison for the last three years, his aides decided after the deeply comatose Palestinian leader suffered another downturn.
The sandbagged compound, known as the Muqata, is seen by many Palestinians as a symbol of resistance to Israeli occupation, and Palestinian officials said it would be turned into a shrine.
