Bethlehem, 11 August (AKI) - Marwan Barghouti jailed for life in Israel on charges of organising the killing of Jews, was elected to a senior position in Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction on Tuesday. Barghouti, 50, who has denied the charges against him, is considered to be a popular figure among many Palestinians and was once seen as a successor to Yasser Arafat.
