Yasser Arafat's official Web site posted pictures Monday that it said showed the late Palestinian leader's modest bedroom, offering a glimpse into the way he lived under Israeli siege during the final two years of his life.

The AP works up a sob story for one of its idols. One of the most corrupt and outrageous thugs in history, a serial thief and murderer, never mind the pedophile part. And it seems we are supposed to feel sorry for him. Will there ever be a bottom to the AP’s shamelessness?

Arafat and his wife owned a number of very expensive properties all over Europe.
She has been living like she is Jackie Onassis for years....
