Palestinians prepare for Arafat to be buried on Temple Mount
By YAAKOV KATZ
A small group of Palestinians gathered in a corner of the Temple Mount on Monday, peering into two inconspicuous rooms that have been tagged by Palestinian officials as the only acceptable burial site for Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.

"Inshallah (with God's help) Arafat will be buried on the Temple Mount," declared Abu Nabil, head of security for the Wakf, who is charged with overseeing the holy Muslim sites on the Mount. "There is no other resting place for Arafat and Israel knows it," he added, spreading out his arms in a prayer-like position towards heaven.

Palestinians roaming the Temple Mount compound on Monday seemed apathetic regarding Arafat's condition, with some claiming he was dead the moment he boarded the helicopter for Jordan a week and a half ago. But they all warned violence would erupt if Israel refuses to allow his burial on the compound.

"If Arafat is not buried here then Israel will need to prepare itself for an outbreak of Palestinian violence," asserted Ahmed, who has been giving tours on the Mount since before the Six Day War. "The Palestinian people love him and he is like our father."
