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.

A girl like Buffy should go alone to the West Bank.

She should at least have this guy for an escort:

Typical Yahoo. They often hide the reality of where many of their stories come from.

This is a Reuters story. Reuters loved Arafat, the mass murdering Islamofacist thug and portrays GW as a War Criminal.

Below is the headline and the Reuters link which can be found if we go a little deeper into Yahoo story.

I wouldn't put it past these creatures to attempt something like that.

We could be witnessing a reprise of what happened to the corpse of Mussolini after the Second World War.

After Arafat's body was lowered into the ground, Muslim clerics read http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/ap/thumbnails//ARAFAT.sff_NYET271_20041109130310.jpgverses

ANNOUNCE PAINFUL PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE (9:3)

O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred... (8:65)

Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve (8:55)

The Palis are idiots. They want a country but can't even behave themselves at a funeral.

BUMP.

At this very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena."

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.

If only.... 'CLEAN UP in aisle 9.'
