GAZA CITY (CNN) -- Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Mahmoud Abbas escaped injury on Sunday after masked gunmen opened fire near him inside a tent where people were mourning Yasser Arafat.

Abbas also said that the tent was crowded and emotions were high. He said the men were pointing their weapons up and shooting into the air, which isn't unusual. "You can see it in the weddings here," Abbas said.
