#1 Thought the name was familar: A top Palestinian security official who is related to Yasser Arafat escaped assassination late Thursday after a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at his office, officials said. The explosive missed and hit a prison, wounding 10 inmates. Speculation on the attempt against Maj. Gen. Moussa Arafat focused on fellow Palestinians because residents in the Gaza area said there were no Israeli army soldiers in the vicinity. Arafat, a cousin of the Palestinian leader, was not in his office at the time.
Like I said before, too bad they missed.
