Syria buries Hollywood producer Akkad, bomb victim

ALEPPO, Syria (Reuters) - Syria gave a hero's burial on Sunday to Moustapha Akkad, the local-born Hollywood producer killed with his daughter in Wednesday's Amman hotel bombings. 

Akkad is best known internationally as producer of the "Halloween" horror films, but is most famous in the Arab world for directing a film about early Islam and another about a leader of the Libyan resistance against Italian occupation.
