Page "Yasser Arafat" Paragraph 11

Arafat's full name was Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini.

Mohammed Abdel Rahman was his first name, Abdel Raouf was his father's name and Arafat his grandfather's.

Al-Qudwa was the name of his tribe and al-Husseini was that of the clan to which the al-Qudwas belonged.

al-Husseini was based in Gaza and should not be confused with the well-known, but unrelated, al-Husayni clan of Jerusalem.
