A Palestinian policeman weeps outside the Muqataa, Arafat's West Bank headquarters, after hearing the news of the leader's death.
Arafat was the embodiment of Palestinian aspirations for statehood for four decades.
Ali, a 14-year old Palestinian boy, carrying a photo of the late leader, raised his fist and said: "He (Arafat) said we will raise the Palestinian flag in Jerusalem - and we will."
