WND Exclusive FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU Ex-NSA analyst: Arafat preyed on boys Claims U.S. had info indicating PLO leader was homosexual Posted: September 9, 2005 10:53 a.m. Eastern

JERUSALEM – The U.S. had information indicating late PLO leader Yasser Arafat may have been a homosexual who preyed on teenage boys, the National Security Agency's former Palestinian analyst told WorldNetDaily.
The disclosure follows reports yesterday that secret medical documents reveal Arafat may have died of AIDS, with one Palestinian Authority doctor saying the virus appeared in Arafat's bloodstream.
James J. Welsh, who in the early 1970s monitored communications for the NSA related to Arafat's Fatah movement, said, "One of the things we looked for when we were intercepting Fatah communications were messages about Ashbal [Lion cub] members who would be called to Beirut from bases outside of Beirut. The Ashbal were often orphaned or abandoned boys who were brought into the organization, ostensibly to train for later entry into Fedayeen fighter units.
"Arafat always had several of these 13-15 year old boys in his entourage. We figured out that he would often recall several of these boys to Beirut just before he would leave for a trip outside Lebanon. It proved to be a good indicator of Arafat's travel plans. While Arafat did have a regular security detail, many of those thought to be security personnel – the teenage boys – were actually there for other purposes."
Arafat's Fatah and PLO organizations based themselves in Beirut after they were expelled from Jordan in 1970. The terror groups remained in Lebanon until Israel's military operations in the area in 1982.
Arafat died Nov. 11, 2004, at a military hospital in Paris. The official cause of death has not been released because French law prohibits distribution of medical records to anyone other than immediate family. Arafat's widow, Suha, has refused to divulge any details of his illness.
Yesterday, Israel's Haaretz daily published excerpts of a new book that states an analysis of a confidential pathology report from the French hospital in which Arafat was treated reveals AIDS could have been the cause of death.
Israeli and foreign doctors who said they saw the report list the specific cause of death as a massive brain hemorrhage. They say the report details do not lead to a conclusive determination on what caused Arafat's death, but many of the symptoms Arafat exhibited were typical of AIDS.
Dr. Ashraf al-Kurdi, Arafat's personal physician, reportedly told the Israeli authors he knows Arafat's French doctors found the AIDS virus in the blood.
Many senior Palestinian officials said in interviews with the book's authors they are convinced Arafat was poisoned by Israel. According to the officials, Arafat would receive candies and medicines from visitors and eat them without medical supervision.
A statement from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office said the poison claims were "nonsense," adding such assertions were investigated in the past and found to be false.
The French medical report stated no traces of poison were found in Arafat's body.
A separate report by the New York Times also released yesterday claims Arafat's medical records indicated the late PLO leader died of a stroke. The report, which says it is the "first independent review of [Arafat's medical] records" disputed claims Arafat died of AIDS. But like the Israeli analysis, the Times report states Arafat's French doctors did not include HIV testing in their records, "an omission experts found bizarre."
Following Arafat's death, sources in the Israeli intelligence community told WND they used what they knew of the late PLO chairman's symptoms and the information surrounding his hospitalization to determine, along with medical experts, the most likely cause of death.
The sources said AIDS fit with some of the results of Arafat's blood chemistry, including a low blood platelet count that indicated a weakened immune system – a characteristic of the disease.
While Arafat was ill, some publicly speculated he was dying of AIDS.
The homosexual site, 365Gay.com, which deals regularly with issues related to HIV/AIDS, ran a piece reminding readers that, for several years, it has been suggested Arafat is bisexual and could have contracted the disease.
"If suggestions that Arafat has AIDS are true, it is doubtful it would be made public," wrote 365Gay.com European bureau chief Malcolm Thornberry.
National Review diarist David Frum suggested in a column Arafat contracted AIDS from homosexual sex with his bodyguards.
Ion Pacepa, who was deputy chief of Romanian foreign intelligence under the Ceausescu regime and who defected to the West in 1978, says in his memoirs the Romanian government bugged Arafat and had recordings of the Arab leader in orgies with his security detail.
Various Israeli security sources have in the past suggested publicly Arafat might be homosexual. They've claimed Arafat's former personal driver – a Mossad double agent – used to find teenage boys to bring back to the PLO leader. His wife, Suha, mostly lived abroad and rarely saw her husband.
Responding to the reports yesterday in a WorldNetDaily exclusive interview, chief Palestinian negotiator and former Arafat friend Saeb Erekat denied Arafat had AIDS or that he was homosexual.
"There is absolutely no truth to these rumors and reports, which are baseless and part of the same campaign that tried to smear Arafat while he was alive," said Erekat. "None of this stuff is believable. I trust the French, and they didn't conclude anything about AIDS. I am not an investigator so I can't say how he died, but I don't think it was from AIDS."
Erekat called on Suha Arafat to "immediately release the confidential reports surrounding Arafat's death. This way the truth can be known to all."

Are you sure it wasn't the Queen of Brunei?
"I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the 'Fedayee,'' Arafat's code name, explained Munteaunu. 'After the meeting with the Comrade (Ceausescu), he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. 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've read stories that homosexuality is well-known in Morocco, and we definitely know about the paedophila around Khandahar (sp?) in Afghanistan.
WHAAAT! Michael Jackson too? Who woulda thunk it?!!
Bump!
Not surprised.
I must point out that Oscar Wilde did repent his sins before he died.
What's your proof for Pete Townsend? He cruised the internet sex sites. Got anything besides that?
It appears someone has violated the oath.
One wonders what this was filed under?
Yeah.....does this report go to Meade and JCS or the Surgeon General and CDC Atlanta?

During the Persian Gulf War I was deployed to an air base in Oman. We worked side by side with Omani Air Force and the RAF. Some of the RAF officers had been seconded to the Omani Air Force. I remember one of them telling me the same thing but advising me to never mention it to one of the Omani officers.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Not surprising news about Arafat - there were quite a few articles about this around the time of his departure for the nether world.
In the photo lineup, who's the bearded guy on the right? And Oscar Wilde repented for real? That's a suprise.
Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.
With a name like Malcolm Thornberry, he was destined to become Gay. What were his parents thinking?
"I must point out that Oscar Wilde did repent his sins before he died."
Reminds of the saying, "There's no atheist in a foxhole."
How quickly, when we're actually confronted with death, do we acknowledge G-d & our sins.
I don't think they rape homosexual young boys. I don't think that raping obviously homosexual boys would serve their purposes.
I think they deliberately rape normal young boys, who would have grown up to become normal heterosexual men.
However, the sodomized boys are ashamed afterwards, and don't feel they are ever going to have a chance at becoming a normal man with a woman after what has happened to them.
But then it is explained to them that if they die fighting for the cause (by detonating a suicide belt) Allah will make it all right for them, and they will have their 72 beautiful female virgins in heaven.
Truly an evil religion...
Arafat is in hell where the devil is plunging his red hot fork right up Arafat's
Who's in the pix on far right?
