Picture

Flower petals are thrown as the body of the slain top leader of the radical Islamic movement Hamas, Abdelaziz Rantissi, is carried through the streets of Gaza City during his funeral procession attended by tens of thousands of people yesterday. Rantissi died of his injuries after his car took a direct hit from at least two rockets fired by an Israeli helicopter killing two of his bodyguards on the spot late Saturday night. PHOTO: AFP
