Details????

He only wants to give four of them up, and not his flunkies from the Karine A affair.

[Bikers4Bush]

He's proven over and over again that he won't stick to a deal.

Let the Israeli's kill him off already.

[Psalm 73]

They will be hunted down and killed by IDF regardless.

[altura]

But ... but ... he said he would.

[Corporate Law]

I am shocked! (/sarcasm)

[CedarDave]

Someone must have cleaned the toilets in the compound so he figures he can hang on a few days longer there.

[Catspaw]

One ringie-dingie...Hey, Yasser, it's Crown Prince Abdullah on the phone for you....

[linn37]

to heck with it just go in there and take the goons and leave arafat sitting there,what can they do about it?

[mhking]

Figures. Can we bomb him now?

[TADSLOS]

You can't negotiate with a terrorist. Just kill him and his minions. What's the worst that could happen that isn't already either in the works or on the way?

[Registered]

The snag is that Arafat doesn't want to let go of the 6th terrorist who was the arms shipment coordinator for the 50 tons of weapons that were confiscated at sea.

[exmarine]

Arafat is a liar. That's news? I say let Israel kill him - we can then replace him with Ringo Starr. The Palestinians are so stupid they won't know the difference.

[Mixer]

Never negotiate with terrorists. Isn't this the first rule?!?!?

[Paul Atreides]

The next thing you'll tell us is that he still hates Jews.

[VRWC_minion]

Bush fails again.

Report: Arafat refuses to hand over prisoners to US, British jailers
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is reportedly refusing to hand over two senior figures holed up within his Ramallah command center to British and American jailers.

Ahmed Saadat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine involved in the assassination of late cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi, and Fuad Shubaki, mastermind of the Karine A weapons smuggling plot, remain inside the compound at this time.

Israeli and foreign journalists outside Arafat's compound continue to wait for the transfer of Saadat and Shubaki and four more Palestinian convicts into American and British custody.

The four others were involved in the assassination of Ze'evi in Jerusalem Hyatt Hotel last October.

According to an agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinians, with the assistance of the United States, the six will be transferred to a prison in Jericho where they will be supervised by American and British officials.

Israeli military sources said Arafat changed his mind at the last minute and is now refusing to hand over the two senior figures, Israel Radio reported.

[Hessian]

Arafat: I'm withdrawing my concession.

Sharon: You're what?

Arafat: I'm withdrawing my concession.

Sharon: Well, you do what you have to do.

Arafat: You don't have to get snippy about it!

History just keeps on repeating itself....

[Semper Paratus]

Deals off?, great.
Sharon can now storm the Ramallah bunker and haul the terrorist bastards off to a real prison and drop Arafat off at the Egyptian border.

[Lazamataz]

Whoopsy.
