JENIN, -: Zakaria Zubeidi, a Palestinian local leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, holds up his M-16 rifle and picture of Arafat 31 July 2004 in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, after members of the group had set ablaze the Governor's building overnight. Arafat had appointed as governor Qaddura Mussa, 50, Fatah's secretary-general for the Jenin district. The post had been vacant since the former governor, Haidar Ersheid, was forced to stand down a year ago following accusations of corruption.
