Firing into the air, Palestinian security men struggled earlier to remove the coffin from the aircraft and then held on to it tight as they placed it on a vehicle that plied its way through a dense throng of weeping mourners.
"With our blood and soul we redeem you, Abu Ammar," the crowd chanted, using the nom de guerre of their leader, who fought for decades for a state he never achieved.
At least nine Palestinians were wounded by shots fired by the security forces or gunmen. Medics said hundreds were treated after fainting or for minor injuries during the crush.

Somebody should keep an eye on that grave 24/7 for about the next twenty years, lest the Pallies exhume that they can get away with moving it to a more prestigious location.

Just before I left for work, the MSNBC guys were discussing what the velocity of the returning bullets would be. I think they said that they can reach 120 mph on the way back down, and cause jagged wounds because of the tumbling of the bullet as it falls.
The Palis are idiots. They want a country but can't even behave themselves at a funeral.

No, don't guard it. Someone needs to dig the grave up and give ole' Arafat a pig for company.

Usually they put dead people on a platter and carry then down the street.

Now somebody needs to go to that gravesite at midnight and drive a stake through the center of his foul, putrid heart.
I was kind of hoping there would be a "coffin swarm" like the Ayatollah's funeral, when the box opened and the contents spilled out and a mob of "faithful" all grabbed body parts for souvenirs.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

Best line summarizing the entire fiasco:
Before the Palestinians have a state of their own, they need to learn how to conduct a state funeral.

"Reminds me of the orgy that occured when Nasser was buried."Yah, and how about when the Ayatolla Houmeini croaked, and they dumped the corpse out of the coffin as they were carrying it around? LOL!

No problem. Load a C130 up with tons of fried pork skins and saturate the burial site with them. No Muslim would go near the grave.
