From the article:
'Abd-al-Ra'uf al-Qidwa al-Husayni, better known as Yasser Arafat (a distant relative) is reputed to have fought with him and to have been his personal secretary.
[edit] Footnotes
This is disputed in Said K. Aburish: Arafat (1998). Aburish writes that:
- Arafat was not part of the famous Husayni -family; that was a myth that Arafat himself (among others) spread.
- And the group the Arafat fought with was never in the same area as Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni. According to Aburish (p. 18): "That Arafat fought bravely in the area around Gaza [..] is confirmed by many who were with him." He then adds that there is nobody who claim they saw him outside Gaza (and Gaza was not Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni area of operation). Also that all of Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni´s military assistens were known at the time (and Arafat was not one of them).

[edit] Moved from article
"Two corrections: 1)Qadir did not know that the Qastel had been captured and walked there with two body guards. It was night and a Jewish guard shot at them when they got close. Qadir was wounded and was left to bleed to death while his two guards run away. Only in day time the body was checked and the Palmach realized that they killed Qadir. 2) An interesting rumor is that one of the two body guards was Yasser Arafat.
