Suha Arafat, his wife of 13 years and mother of his daughter, seems to have aligned herself with hard-liners who apparently seek to take over the Palestinian leadership in a post-Arafat era, though some Palestinian officials said her motives are more financial. According to a senior official in Arafat's office, she has received monthly payments of $100,000 from Palestinian coffers and is widely believed to have control of vast funds collected by the PLO.
This year, French prosecutors launched a money-laundering probe into transfers of $11.4 million into her accounts. She has refused to talk to reporters about Palestinian finances. Suha Arafat, 41, lives in Paris and has not been to the West Bank or seen her husband since the latest round of Palestinian violence began in 2000.
Some Palestinians have complained Suha Arafat has gained too much power, as she controls the flow of information about her husband's condition and has taken charge of access to the ailing leader.
"She is not part of the Palestinian leadership," Arafat security adviser Jibril Rajoub told Israel's Channel Two TV.

Yeah, but she still looks hot next to Yas.
That's 1.2 million a year for a non-working sow. A Heinz-Kerry clubber no doubt.
You should see pictures of her back 20 years ago. She was actually a "looker" then. Its been in the past 10 years, since marrying Arafat...that she packed on the weight.
One interesting note...while everyone thinks that she controls vast sums of money from Arafat. The PLO itself controls the bulk. She has her hands on enough to run daily and monthly operations for the things she requires. But I doubt seriously that she has more than $10 million put away. She spends in the region of $300k per month on security and living arrangements. I can't see how she can maintain that level, if she gets totally cut off...which is what is going to occur. They may pay her a death payment...maybe $20 million just to shut up and go away...but she wants more and may end up playing politics in order to force them to hand over the big cash.
Aren't we supposed to be above this sort of behavior? I would dearly love to have the honor of pulling the plug on her husband, but what has she done to deserve our scorn? We must ensure that we don't descend to the level of Democrats in our criticism.
Beg to differ. I think it's very high class to make fun of this low class porker! OINK! OINK!
The woman herself is a piece of filth, and just because she's about to become a widow doesn't make her above ridicule. Do you think she loves him, or something? Do you have a romantic fantasy about the marriage of Arafat and Suha? If so, that is sad for you.
LOL! I thought that's what that looked like. Thanks!
You're new here, aren't you?
This is the woman who will live off the millions of her murderer husband. The woman whom Hilary Clinton kissed.
You will never see a merrier widow than Mrs. Arafat, after the old man goes to Hell.
She was decently raised as a Christian, and married that pig, knowing full well what he was. Or do you think she married him for love?
160 something thousand a month and she doesn't fork over the money for a gym membership.
Maybe she's just waiting for that AIDS diet to kick in, that is if she's actually been able to stomach sleeping with Arafat.
Unless the husband is the son of Satan . . .
THAT'S IT! I was trying to think of who she reminded me of! Whew, thanks.
Wanna See Suha's Pic? Ara-fat's Babe
No. :-)
I would however like to see a photo of Ann Coulter.
Much easier on the eye.
Exact replica for: MISS PIGGIE!!!!
SOOEY!
Why are these terrorists allowed to prowl around in public ?
Why is France harboring them ?
Why didn't Israel shoot down that French helicopter transporting that bag of excrement Arafat to the hospital in France ?
Suha-Hee! Time for sloppin'!
