Subject: Eqbal Ahmed

	Eqbal Ahmed, a Pakistani citizen, was for his entire life in the
West a committed militant and distinguished analyst of Third World and
Palestinian struggle.  Eqbal Ahmed, Noam Chomsky and Edward Said have been a
trinity whose opinion is sought and appreciated on world burning issues.

	Ahmed as a person was to his friends and students a guiding light;
his presence in the academic and media domains was a stabilizing force.  He
will leave behind a special vacuum difficult to fill.

	His passing away is a grave loss, and we will miss him profoundly.
May God bless his soul with mercy and grant his family and friends solace
and fortitude.
