Why? So the PA--Israel's peace partners--can throw a big party in her honor:
The PA said in its request that it wanted to "honor" Mughrabi by holding a big funeral for her in Ramallah.The PA claims that even if they are no given her remains they would still hold a celebration. No doubt--with Olmert in charge, dealing with Israel is one big party.
Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior Fatah official closely associated with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, described Mughrabi, whose family originally came from Jaffa, as a "the first Palestinian woman to carry out one of the most courageous operations in Israel." He claimed that in her will, Mughrabi, who belonged to Fatah, had asked her family to see to it that she was buried in "Palestine."
"We want to turn Dalal's funeral into a national wedding, a major celebration," the Fatah official said. "The operation she carried out off the shores of her hometown of Jaffa was heroic and exemplary. She will always be remembered as a symbol for the Palestinian women's struggle."
