The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) on Tuesday denied press reports that Dr. Fathi Arafat, the brother of the late Palestinian president and the PRCSs honorary President, died on Sunday in a Cairo hospital. Fathi, 71, was admitted earlier this month to a specialized hospital in Cairo to continue medical treatment for his terminal cancer and his condition described as "critical."
A Kuwaiti daily reported on Saturday that Fathi Arafat's doctors decided not to update him regarding the death of Yasser Arafat. (albawaba.com)
Wow today is my lucky day!

He's mostly dead.
Has anyone checked to see if Fathi's birth certificate shows he was (falsely) born in Jeruselum too.......or maybe Gasp? Conspiracy? Gasp? someone had Fathi killed so the world wouldn't find out from a family member that Yasser wasn't born in Jeruselum but in Cairo, Egypt.
Neither one of them wants to be the first to say goodbye.
That is true, it would violate their privacy to know that Yassar died of AIDS.
Now, now, the fact that we've never heard of this man before and the fact that he was a figure in the Palestine Red Crescent leads me to conclude on the face of things that he was a real, practicing doctor and not a terrorist. Besides, anyone who looks like a slightly older Cheech Marin can't possibly be a monster.
I've seen worse.

ODB: A name, persona we will never forget By Steve Jones, USA TODAY Ol' Dirty Bastard will be remembered as one of hip-hop's most outrageous personalities. The rapper, who died suddenly Saturday at a New York recording studio, stood out even within the iconic nine-member Wu Tang Clan with his off-kilter deliveries and outlandish rhymes.
