STORYLINE :

The funeral procession for Faisal Husseini reached the Old City of Jerusalem on the last stage of its journey to his final resting place.

Husseini was to be buried in a small cemetery reserved f Palestinian notables inside the compound known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews as the Temple Mount.

It is the most sensitive spot in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and a dispute over who will eventually control it helped derail peace talks.

Husseini, the top P-L-O official in Jerusalem, was being buried in Jerusalem's holiest Muslim shrine, at the side of his father, a legendary military commander killed in a 1948 battle for Jerusalem.

Husseini, 60, died on Thursday in Kuwait of a heart attack.
