 Ramallah - The controversial wife of Yasser Arafat did not attend his burial service in the West Bank on Friday, choosing instead to stay on in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, Palestinian political sources said. Suha, who was at the centre of an unseemly row with four of Arafat's top lieutenants earlier in the week over access to her husband's hospital bedside, did not fly back with his coffin to Ramallah after a military funeral in Cairo. | Smart move, with all that gunfire she might have caught a "stray" round. |
"She decided to stay on to receive condolences," one source told AFP. "She is then going to go back to either France or Tunisia" where she divides her time. | And hire a really good car starter. |
