Palestinian official says Arafat killed by toxin injection

http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=89f85734ec993444

An adviser to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, has told a London newspaper former chairman Yasser Arafat was poisoned.

Ahmad Abdul Rahman, a high-ranking member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, told the Al Quds Al-Arabi newspaper Arafat died of poisoning brought about by an injection into his ear towards the end of September 2003.

Arafat lost 13 kilos over the sixteen days following the injection Abdul Rahman said. News reports at the time confirmed doctors struggled to identify the cause of Arafat's illness.

1. I would not be surprised, not at all.

This has been a subject of speculation even amongst those who do not wear "tinfoil hats."

Will we ever know? :shrug:

2. It is plausible

Unfortunately, governments around the world have thrown money chasing a means to kill with an undetectable, untraceable poison.

3. Maybe if they do an autopsy...

Arafat and the thousands of people he killed will magically jump from their graves and return to their families.

Wait a minute. No, Arafat will remain dead, and so will his victims. But there's always the chance to add a few hundred more in memoriam.

5. Here's how it happened:

Ahmad Abdul Rahman, a high-ranking member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, told the Al Quds Al-Arabi newspaper Arafat died of poisoning brought about by an injection into his ear towards the end of September 2003.

Fuckin' prevert took it in the ear once too often.

6. Well that's a shame.

Some Mossad agent is dead because he couldn't keep Arafat alive to continue making assinine pronouncements every few weeks blowing back against and dividing the Palestinian people. Not to mention that just his image alone would lose them sympathy world-wide every time it was run in the MSM. He was without a doubt the worst PR man any group has EVER had in the history of the world. His death was the first break the Palestinians have gotten in 20 years IMO. Good riddance.

for this one.

They loved having Arafat around as an opponent.
