"Yasser Arafat did not achieve his dream of being buried in Jerusalem but his death certificate states he was born in the holy city, fueling a long-running controversy over his birthplace.

The Palestinian president, who died in a hospital in the Paris suburb of Clamart last week, always maintained he was born in Jerusalem. Leading biographers say he was born in Cairo.
A Jewish rights group is demanding the death certificate be changed, fueling a dispute that has political repercussions.

Israel considers Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital, and the Palestinians, who call the city Al Quds, want it as the capital of their planned independent state.

"What I can confirm is that the document handed over in order to complete the death certificate of Mr. Arafat ... did give his place of birth as Al Quds/Jerusalem," said Cladie Tracol, a spokeswoman for the Clamart local authorities."
