|hobby = }}'''Ali Hassan Abu Kamal''' (September 19, 1927 - February 23, 1997) was a Palestinian schoolteacher who committed a [[Mass Shooting|mass shooting]] on February 23, 1997. From the observation deck of the Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York, he opened fire and killed one person and wounded six others before taking his own life with a gunshot to the head.

Law enforcement officials ruled it was a premeditated attack after finding notes indicating Abu Kamal's anger over Palestine and Israel. At the time, Abu Kamal's widow stated the shooting spree was not politically motivated, but rooted in his despondency over financial ruin.
