Jerusalem - Israel's "clueless" head of military intelligence faced media ridicule on Monday after telling cabinet ministers that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat could either make a full recovery or die.
"According to our intelligence assessment, Arafat's chances of recovery range between full recovery and death. All options are open, General Aaaron Zeevi said in a Sunday briefing on the ailing Palestinian leader's health.
His comments were greeted on Monday with derisory headlines, with the top-selling Yediot Aharonot newspaper declaring: "They haven't a clue".
"With all due respect, we don't need an IDF (army) intelligence branch director for that," one unnamed minister said after the meeting.
