If true would be so cool since inter faction warfare would erupt and a new strongman would try to seize power. 
Pallies would be off the Izzies backs for years.

One of Yasser Arafat's doctors denied a report Wednesday that he suffered a mild heart attack, but his adviors said the 74-year-old Palestinian leader is suffering from a stomach flu and continues to be weak.

Unreliable news reports are usually confirmed by DEBKA...

LOL. I thought they initiated them. As for celebrating, I've always been wary of getting what I wished for.

Arafat dead?

Jimbo Carter and Slick Willey will cry buckets. Sucking up to Arafat was how both were to win the Nobel Peace Prize!

No matter, alive or dead he still will smell the same. He may finally get a shave and a fresh towel?

Pray for GW and Our Troops

Oh sh*t! It IS the year of the Apocalypse World Series (Cubs/Red Sox) after all...

I'll only believe that if Castro kicks off. BTW the Marlins are going to win it all.

If you ask me, I think the whole story is a sham but it's mostly because I have a bias against online newspapers. If a paper wants to keep credibility, it needs to give up the effort to be the first one out there with the story and be more patient to make sure the story is accurate in the first place.

LOL. And hopefully someone'll kosh him if he argues that he's not dead yet...
