Qadoura Mousa
Qadoura Mousa (also written: Kadoura, Arabic: قدوره موسى) is the governor of the Jenin Governorate of the Palestinian National Authority, in the northern West Bank.
International profile
Kadoura Mousa Kadoura was described as the director of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement for the northern West Bank in May 2002. He is credited with issuing the official death toll, 56 Palestinians, for the Battle of Jenin.[1] Palestinian spokesmen outside the camp had earlier estimated the number as around 500 and official Israeli spokesmen with access to the camp announced it was between 150[2] and 250.[3]
Death
Around 11.30 p.m. 1 May 2012 unknown assailants opened fire on Musa's home in Jenin, police spokesman Mujahid Rabiya said. The governor left his home with security chiefs to check-up on the security situation in the city, when he suffered the heart attack that killed him, presidential office chairman Hussein al-Araj told official PA news agency Wafa. He arrived at Jenin government hospital in the early hours of 2 May 2012 suffering heart pains, and died in intensive care, the hospital said. Thousands from different cities in the west bank attended his funeral. [4]
