Islamic Jihad mourns West Bank leader

Saturday 30/04/2011

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Islamic Jihad mourned the death of leader Raed Aref Faid Al-Mugheir on Saturday.

Al-Mugheir, from Araba near Jenin, died aged 39 from kidney failure, a statement from the movement said.

He suffered a kidney infection while detained in Israel's Ad-Damon prison in 2000 and had ongoing kidney problems since then.

Israel had imprisoned Al-Mugheir three times.

He was one of Islamic Jihad's pioneering fighters in the West Bank, along with Isam Baramah, Iyad Al-Hardan and Anwar Hamaran, all of whom were killed by Israeli forces, the statement said.
