The location here is meant only to show that al-Wazir was killed in Tunisia.  But the site of his home where he was killed needs to be found.

Description


Khalil al-Wazir

Khalil Ibrahim al-Wazir (Arabic: خليل إبراهيم الوزير‎, also known by his teknonym Abu Jihad [note 2] أبو جهادfather of struggle; October 10, 1935 – April 16, 1988) was a Palestinian leader and founder of the secular nationalist party Fatah. As a top aide of Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman, Yasser Arafat, al-Wazir had considerable influence in Fatah's military activities, eventually becoming the commander of Fatah's armed wing al-Assifa. The majority of the Palestinians viewed him as a martyr who died resisting the Israeli occupation or at least sympathized with his cause,[1][2] while most Israelis considered him to be a high-profile terrorist for planning the killings of Israelis.[3]
