Arafish Death Pool
The world’s most decrepit terrorist may finally be about to die: Sources: Serious deterioration in Arafat’s health.
Palestinian sources in Ramallah said Wednesday night that there has been a serious deterioration in Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s health.
The sources said a number of Palestinian officials were summoned urgently to Arafat’s Mukata compound in Ramallah following reports that Arafat has lost consciousness.
Among the officials were Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei and former Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
The officials are still at the Mukata.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s latest health problems come at a time of unprecedented political and security instability in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, raising fears that his death could trigger a bloody power struggle among the top brass of the Palestinian leadership.
