Arafat's doctor: His blood had HIV, but poison killed him
12/08/2007
By Danny Rubinstein , Haaretz Correspondent
Late Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat's blood contained the deadly HIV virus, Arafat's personal physician told Jordanian media over the weekend. Dr. Ashraf al-Kurdi stressed, however, that Arafat did not die of AIDS - which is caused by the virus.
Jordanian news site Amman quoted al-Kurdi - a former Jordanian health ministry official - as saying that the virus had been injected into Arafat's bloodstream close to his death, and that the real cause of the chairman's death was poison.
Hours earlier, al-Kurdi was interviewed on television news station Al-Jazeera. However, the network cut short the live interview with al-Kurdi as soon as he mentioned that the former chairman had contracted HIV.
To Amman, al-Kurdi said that Arafat's death was suspicious in several other respects. "I would usually be summoned to attend to Arafat immediately, even when all he had was a simple cold," said al-Kurdi, who served as Arafat's personal physician for 18 years. "But when his medical situation was really deteriorating, they chose not to call me at all."
According to al-Kurdi, Arafat's wife, Suha, refused to allow the doctor to visit Arafat in the private Paris hospital where he was being treated. Al-Kurdi added that he was denied access to Arafat's body after his death. In the Amman interview, he demanded the French government set up a commission of inquiry.
However, al-Kurdi did not explain why he did not come forth sooner and reveal the information. On September 9, 2005, al-Kurdi told Haaretz that "any doctor would tell you that [Arafat's symptoms] are the symptoms of a poisoning."
Arafat was pronounced dead on November 11 at the age of 75. The exact cause of his illness is unknown.

My guess is, Arafat is probably not enjoying those 72 virgins and he is not in paradise right now...
why is this such a surprise to people???
he was a known fudge packer....the bulgarians had him on tape takng part in gay orgies with his security staff..
the sick rumor that floated around is the Soviets provided him with young boys...and I’m being serious..
What an ass cover! Pun intended!
He was a murderer and deserved nothing less than what he got which was AIDS.
I thought he had a trophy wife who lusted after all that UN money he sat on.
But hey, one Beatle still lives.
Virgins would not interest him, unless they were young boy virgins. I would also guess that sexual gratification is the last thing on his mind now.
Get it? It's a joke! They caught the filthy bum who killed Arafat (he died of aids)
Reminds me of a joke I recently heard [paraphrasing]: Jon Corzine recently had a bad car accident. But he’s not the first N.J. governor to get involved in this situation. Jim McGreevey had been rear-ended a few times in the past.
Wikipedia thinks there are two still alive.
No it was food poisoning
Bad Wienie
(I know but it’s late and its my 4th margarita)
Oddly enough, the outing by Fallaci prompted Arafat to "marry" immediately after. Rumor has it that the child so quickly thereafter conceived was also courtesy of his controllers.
Everybody knows Arafat was poisoned by the Joooooos!
In that culture, anybody can be a 'Baghdad Bob', huh...
Lucky for Yassir, he belonged to a religion where you could bow down five times a day and stare at the crotch of the guy in front of you.
(I was wondering why they do it that way.)
ROFLMA!! Buddy of mine who has served two tours in Iraq said that majority of Muslim men are homo’s and pedophiles.
I agree, who cares as long as this monster is dead and non to soon.
