The Palestinian Authority has renamed the main town square in the Jenin “refugee camp” after the Iraqi suicide bomber who killed four American soldiers.
The name of the plaza in Jenin was changed from Mosque Square to the Na’mani Square during a rally Sunday attended by scores of camp residents and Palestinian officials, sources said Monday.
“We want to honor the brave Iraqi officer who carried out the first suicide attack against the American and British occupiers,” a senior Palestinian official in Jenin told The Jerusalem Post.
“We hope there will be more suicide operations in the coming days.”
The Jenin refugee camp has been known as a hotbed for extremist Palestinian groups responsible for a numerous suicide attacks in Israel.
Camp residents proudly describe the camp, which is home to some 12,000 refugees, as the capital of suicide bombers.
