Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, 75, has lost consciousness, Israeli public radio reported, quoting Palestinian sources.
He lost consciousness "several hours ago", it said.
Arafat's senior adviser Nabil Abu Rudeina, meanwhile, confirmed that a team of doctors was examining the veteran Palestinian leader.
"A team of Tunisian and Palestinian doctors is examining the president," Abu Rudeina said in a statement read out to journalists in front of Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
He said Arafat "needs more rest because of his fatigue" and added that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah II had offered to send doctors.
A source close to the Palestinian Authority said earlier that Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO's No 2, and premier Ahmed Qorei were also at the bedside of Arafat, 75, who officially has been suffering from a severe bout of flu.
Thank You, I couldn't remember the name of the Spanish guy. I thought it was Spanish.
How 'bout a Castro Death Pool? (may already be one)
How does one lose something they never had?
About time this steaming pile of crap kicked it.
The sooner this terrorist dies the sooner true peace can be achieved in the middle east.
Perfect! :)
Roger That!
Yasser, take lots of suntan lotion and a portable air conditioner. Where you are going, it gets very hot.
Roger that ~ sorry for the oversight. :)
