Arafat suffering from gallstones
2003-10-21
I know we were all concerned. I hope he’s in agony...
Veteran Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is suffering from gallstones but does not need surgery at this stage, an official within his office revealed. The problem had been discovered during recent examinations carried out by Egyptian medics when Arafat was officially diagnosed as having heavy intestinal flu, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday. Time magazine recently reported that 74-year-old Arafat was suffering from cancer while Britain’s The Guardian newspaper said he had suffered a minor heart attack.
Let’s hope everybody’s right...

#3  He's going to end up like Mr Burns, all the diseases in the world in perfect balance, none able to kill him off. Dammit.
