When the cartoon is as cutting as the occupation
Exhibition of Naji al-Ali's work reveals that, 20 years on, it's still eerily contemporary

It has been just over 20 years since master political cartoonist Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London. To commemorate this sad anniversary, an exhibition of original artwork, "Shooting the Witness: The cartoons of Naji al-Ali" opened here last week. The venue, fittingly, is London's respected and alternately serious and rollicking, Political Cartoon Gallery.
