The following are excerpts from a statement by Fatah Secretary General in the West Bank Hussein Al-Sheikh:
Hussein Al-Sheikh: The gun Yasser Arafat raised in the days of Arab apostasy, submission, and defeat, in 1965, will be raised by all the dark arms - the arms scorched by the sun among the Palestinian people, so they continue to believe that this the gun is the way to get rid of this occupation, the shortest way to get rid of this occupation. This is Abu Ammar's promise and this is his will and we will continue to be true to them, Allah willing.
