Arafat: Willing to Die a Martyr
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat said on Wednesday he would be willing to die a "martyr" and would use his machinegun to defend himself if Israeli troops try to exile or assassinate him.

"I am a Palestinian soldier...I will use my gun to defend not only myself but also defend every Palestinian child, woman and man and to defend the Palestinian existence,"..
