Arafat to convalesce in Tunisia
2004-11-04
Ailing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will convalesce in Tunisia after undergoing medical treatment in France, Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) political chief Faruq Qaddumi said Wednesday. "After undergoing treatment he will need time to rest," Qaddumi said before leaving for Paris in the company of other Palestinian leaders. "He will be here in Tunis, soon, if he lives out the week God willing." Qaddumi would not be drawn on whether Arafat, who is suffering from a blood disorder, had been poisoned. "The medical reports which will be published on Thursday will give us an explanation of his condition," he said.

#17  Yeah. Hopefully, he'll be "convalescing" under six feet of Tunisian dirt.

#16  The arafish should be in Florida. We could keep that sucker going for another 30 years..... at about $50,000 a day.... plus rooms for the help and guards and special meals, tips, candy, gifts for vips, special blankets, special pillows padlocked to the bedframe, the Blue Marlin Artifical Gill and extras.

#15  I guess once he's declared officially dead
they can give him an enema and bury him in a shoebox :)

#13  In fact it is France's hidden role in the WOT: provide medical treatment to ennemies of America. Binnie, if you read this, we can take care of your kidney problems. Ditto for the mullahs.

#11  Memo to Paleos: OK, it's not summer anymore but still not a wise idea to send old folks to France.

#9  Cyber Sarge,

This is the first that I am hearing that the French Jews were filing lawsuits. This is truly awesome news!!!

Then again, Arafarrrt may be able to escape France, but not HELL.

#7  I suspect he is leaving France because if he stays he will face civil court challenges by French Jews. They were filing charges after he landed in France. I bet after so many days in country Arafish becomes bound by French civil laws.

#5  They probably know he ain't got much more time to waste air, and Israel won't let the Chief-in-Murder back...

#4  Didn't Tunisia get rid of him once already? Why on earth would they want him back again?!?
