RAMALLAH — Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat has died. He was 75 years old.

Israeli and Palestinian officials said Arafat died on Thursday in a military hospital in Paris. They said Arafat was deemed clinically dead, but is still attached to life support systems on the insistence of his wife, Suha.

Palestinan Authority's Yasser Arafat: Abbas and Qurei sought to acquire his power to allocate money as the PA chairman departed for Paris. But as he boarded a Jordanian Air Force helicopter, Arafat refused. "I'm still alive, thank God, so don't worry," Arafat was quoted as saying. Reuters/Loay Abu Haykel

"He is dead, but neither Arafat's wife nor the Palestinian leadership is ready to announce this," a PA official said. "The announcement could take place on Friday."

The problem is that Arafat is still the only Palestinian official who can pay the bills. And it is unclear who, if anyone, has access to the estimated $2-3 billion in his personal Swiss bank accounts, according to a report in the current edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com. Even his wife is said to be unaware of how to access the funds



"God bless his soul" was what Chimp said at today's press conference when told by a reporter that Arafat had died. This however, was later denied by Paris officials.

Well, according to Worldtribune.com Arafat IS dead. Nice. Arafat's people live in squalor, his wife Suha flits around Paris in designer fashions, and Arafat croaks with their billions stashed away in his personal Swiss bank account. No wonder he didn't want to negotiate a peaceful solution- the flow of donations into his private piggy bank might stop.

1. Arafat spent most of his life fighting for Palestine...

...and the last couple of years living in a bombed out compound under Israeli guns. He is regarded as the father of his nation by his own people. I don't think his credentials or sincerity are much in question. RIP President Arafat.

2. That would be Pope bush

See the "good" people elected their religious "leader" -- Pope bush.

The problem is that WE though we were electing a President.

So they used faith based BBV with faith based software and transformed our votes into votes for their Pope.

3. Perhaps you should rethink your position

However much money he has , and neither you nor I nor World Tribune (?) really knows, he lived for his people, was a voice of moderation, far more than was the Israeli leader, and he will leave a leadership void.
