Arafat threatens 'disastrous explosion'
By THE JERUSALEM POST STAFF

In a speech broadcast today, Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat threatened that if Israel does not retreat from PA-ruled areas that there will be a "disastrous explosion that will impact stability of the whole world."

According to the Palestinian Authority's official news agency WAFA, in an address broadcast in Spain to an awards ceremony honoring EU Middle East envoy Miguel Moratinos, Arafat claimed that "the situation in Palestine is at the edge of explosion."

Arafat warned that if Israel does not withdraw from Palestinian held territory immediately, "enabling our people to practice their legitimate rights of establishing the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, the whole region will witness a disastrous explosion that will impact not only the region but the stability of the whole world."

That little pile of shi'ite is making threats again?

When he goes there should be a celebration, since the world will have been made a bit safer!

Appeasement of terrorists after the 911 Atrocities was WRONG.

Those who did not learn from history have hurt the United States and its citizens.

Arafat must be tired of having to live the life of a captive. Tough. He sounds scared. Poor baby.

The Palestinians had better not joke about this sort of thing. Unlike Arab nations, Israel actually has the bomb.

The WAFA is really an accronym for: When Arabs Find Allah Seriously folks, the Palestinians should elect algore or hilbilly as their leader, they would get more attention for their position.

As if they have a valid point...

Hopefully this "disastrous explosion" is Arafats head absorbing something moving with a very high velocity.

Is "explosion" literal or metaphorical? If it's a metaphor, then it's exceedingly ill chosen.

We call him "fish face" at our house. Shouldn't Israeli Intelligence have picked up on something IF he had a disasterous bomb?
