Arafat's Diagnosis May Soon Be Revealed

By EMMA ROSS AP Medical Writer LONDON -- Nearly a week after his death, speculation still swirls around what killed Yasser Arafat. Cirrhosis of the liver, AIDS, a blood disorder and poisoning are frequently mentioned in unconfirmed reports - all consistent with the little that is publicly known about the medical condition that landed the Palestinian leader in a French hospital.

However, the mystery may soon be resolved: the French say they will hand Arafat's records to Nasser al-Kidwa - a relative, as required, but also the Palestinians' ambassador to the United Nations. Al-Kidwa is scheduled to fly to Paris on Friday to collect the medical files.

"The full medical report of President Arafat is a historical document for the Palestinian people," Hassan Abu Libdeh, the Palestinian Cabinet secretary, said Thursday. "We will get the report and the Palestinian Authority will take the necessary decisions, including informing the Palestinian people about the full details of the report."

Depending on what is in that report, it will either not be released, or what is in that report will not be what is released. My guess is that it was AIDS, and that it will never be publicly acknowledged.

We can all safely say that "araRAT has left the building permanently." Wonder how many terrorist palis he gave AIDS to? That would explain why the palis strap explosives to children, teens and young adults. After araRAT, contracting AIDS, personally gave them AIDS, and knowing these children, teens, and young adults were going to die anyway, araRAT figured they might as well die for his cause. So he strapped explosives on them and sent them out to blow themselves up. Any evidence of his AIDS would be eliminated. What a guy! (sarc)
