Ramallah - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is suffering from a potentially fatal blood disorder which will require more tests outside the West Bank to determine the cause, one of the doctors treating him said Thursday.
"His blood cells which should normally destroy microbes are currently destroying blood platelets," the doctor said on condition of anonymity.
The disorder could have been triggered "by an inflammation caused by a virus, a cancer or blood poisoning," he told reporters.
The supplemtary tests could not be conducted in Arafat's West Bank headquarters where he is currently being treated, he added.
"The doctors think that he must be transferred abroad for further examinations in order to receive the care needed for he could die if the condition persists."
Arafat has been effectively confined to his West Bank headquarters by Israeli troops for nearly three years.
However the Israeli government has said that it will authorise him to leave his so-called Muqataa base to receive treatment wherever he wants.

It will, of course, require extensive testing. Lots and lots of testing with large, dull needles...

I thought old age was always fatal at some point. =) No, that's not always true. Take my step mother for instance. She will NEVER die. LOL!

My dog just died from a similar condition. My dog had Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). If Arafat has this, he is history.

He's rotting from the evil inside. Hurray! I can't wait to sing "ding Dong the Witch is Dead!"
Amen to that. Beelzallah, Mohammed and his seventy-two demons eagerly await him.

araRATfink's victims are waiting in line for him to join them. The world will celebrate when araRATfink finally departs. He should have been dispatched long before this.

What pisses me off is that there will be some kind of "memorial" on the MSM. Oh man...

What a shame that Arafat will die peacefully. He should have met a violent end like his victims.

AIDS? John Batchelor and John Loftus were discussing this the other night, saying that it is an open secret in the intelligence communities that he has AIDS and that American intelligence prevailed on Israeli intelligence not to have him whacked so when he dies of AIDS they can let it out and discredit his movement and provide ammunition to the opponents of his successors.

Sounds like DIC-disseminated intravascular coagulation- probably as a result of an overwhelming infection.
The entire coagulation system goes haywire.
Very bad juju,prognosis grave.
