Ich kämpfte für Arafat : ein Fatah-Heckenschütze beginnt ein ganz neues Leben

At age 17, Palestinian Tass Saada ran away to become a PLO sniper, onetime chauffeur for Yasser Arafat, and a Muslim immersed in anti-Israeli activity.

Once an Arafat Man is a story of the ultimate triumph of love over hatred, of reconciliation over divisions. It's a story that can inspire us all to overcome the conflicts in our own lives.
