Laura Agel from Justice for Palestine remembers Ghassan Kanfani.
In Beirut, on July 9, 1972 – 50 years ago – Ghassan Kanafani climbed into his Austin 1100 car with his 17 year old niece Lamees, switched on the ignition and triggered a bomb planted by the Israeli Mossad. He and Lamees were killed instantly.
But who was Ghassan Kanafani and why was the Israeli state so determined to kill him?
