Subject: Ibrahim Abu-Lughod's burial place

Dr Ibrahim Abu-Lughod - knowing that he was terminally sick - arranged to
obtain a permission from the Israeli Ministry of Interior, 4 weeks ago, in
order to be buried in his home town Yafa, Jafa where he was born and
brought up.  The permission was granted, and all official arrangements
were completed.

After his death last Wednesday, his family started the arrangement for the
burial as agreed, for Friday 25 may - after the afternoon prayer. However,
his family was contacted yesterday by Shin Bet, to say that although the
family has a permit, under no circumstances will Dr Abu-Lughod be allowed
to be buried in Jaffa.

Dr Abu Lughod, a Palestinian with an American citizenship died in Maqased
Hospital in East Jerusalem.
