| [An Nahar] Paleostinian fighter Saeed Marragha, alias Abou Moussa, died of illness Tuesday in Syria where his Fatah-Intifada group was based decades after splitting from the mainstream Fatah faction, his group said. Abou Moussa "died at dawn at a hospital" in Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... , succumbing to a long illness, a Fatah-Intifada front man said, adding the veteran military commander would be buried in Syria's capital following noon Mohammedan prayers on Wednesday. Abou Moussa, 85, who held the rank of colonel and had close ties with both Syria and Iran, rebelled against the Fatah faction of iconic Paleostinian leader Yasser Arafat in 1983 and set up his own group, Fatah-Intifada. Backed by the Syrian army, which was then deployed in Leb, he helped chase Fatah from that country during heavy festivities. Fatah-Intifada is among several radical Syria-based Paleostinian groups hostile to the Israeli-Paleostinian grinding of the peace processor and in favor of the armed struggle against the Jewish State. |
