Abbas' Sons Must Be Excellent Busienssmen
(Al Jazeera) Clayton Swisher - Tareq Abbas, the son of the Palestinian Authority president, is said to own villas in Amman, Jordan, and a rooftop pad in Beirut, Lebanon. And according to official British Land Registry records from 2012, Tareq registered a $1.5 million luxury flat in Merchant Square East, a high-end London development. Tareq's flat has stayed largely unoccupied since he bought it, which seems to indicate that he does not need the rental income. The president's eldest son, Yasser, made his fortune from the monopoly sale of U.S.-made cigarettes in the PA. Their financial blessings are merely the result of being "Grade A businessmen," Yasser once remarked.
