Arafat?

[edit]

Is this airport really called "Yaser Arafat I.A."? First off, I seem to recall that when it opened, some enthusiastic PA officials called it that, but the idea was nixed by Arafat himself. I suppose it could have been renamed after he died, but I'm guessing they would have spelled it right (Yasser, not Yaser). --Jfruh 02:44, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The offical web site calls it that, with the same spelling. Of course the real name is in Arabic so you can't really say that the spelling is incorrect. --Zero 03:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
