Syria-Palestine, Politics, 5/23/2002

A huge funeral ceremony was held on Wednesday in Damascus for the son of the leader of the People's Front For the Liberation of Palestine - general command- Ahmad Jibril who was killed in a booby trapped car in Beirut last Monday amid vows made by the front's partisans to have revenge against Israel for his death.

Some 3,000 persons took part in the funeral ceremony of Muhammad Jihad and the procession took the streets of al-Yarmouk camp for the Palestinian refugees in Damascus. The eulogy was attended by representatives for the Palestinian groups, and the Lebanese Hizbullah party. In a statement to the press Jibril said "death will continue as the Palestinians love to die and to have the honor of martyrdom and Jihad is part of this martyrdom process."

Replying to a question on his accusation to the Jordanian intelligence of being involved in the assassination process of his son, Jibril said "yes: they can not (the Jordanians ) deny that, and we have complete and full evidences on that." He stressed that the general command ( of the People's Front For the Liberation of Palestine) arrested agents for the Jordanian intelligence who were assigned to collect information about the front.

The chairman of the political bureau in the Hamas movement Khaled Mashaal said during the funeral procession "Wait you cowards Zionists. Wait for the answer not only from Jihad's comrades at the General Command but also from Hamas, from Fatah, from the Jihad and from the people and democratic fronts for the liberation of Palestine."
