Thousands Bid Farewell To Palestinian Leader Habash
AMMAN - Thousands turned out for the burial of Palestinian Marxist leader George Habash in Jordan on Monday, chanting anti-Israeli slogans and vowing to continue the struggle for a Palestinian state.
Veteran supporters mingled with Palestinian politicians and representatives of secular and leftist Arab groups at a cemetery outside Amman to pay their respects to Habash, who died on Saturday from a heart condition.
Hailed as a hero by many Palestinians but branded a terrorist by Israel, Habash's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) carried out a string of airline hijackings and kidnappings to publicize the Palestinian cause in the 1970s.
"No to a peaceful settlement and yes to armed struggle," supporters chanted in the Sahab cemetery east of the Jordanian capital.
They waved pictures of Habash which had the slogan: "He lived as a fighter and died a fighter for his people."
Before his burial, a religious ceremony had been held in a Greek Orthodox church where his coffin was draped in a Palestinian flag.
About 2,000 Palestinians marched through the streets of the West Bank city of Ramallah with a symbolic coffin covered with flags, pledging their loyalty to Habash.
Habash, who was in his early 80s, was born in the town of Lydda in what was then British-ruled Palestine and is now part of Israel.
