He's fine really... Just stay away....
A bit of a power struggle seems to be brewing. Suha Arafat, the beloved wife of Husband Yasser (despite the fact that she has been living quite nicely in a hotel in Paris and has not even seen him in person for three years) is now controlling access to Yasser's putrefying corpse -- the puddle on the mattress that was once the worlds oldest terrorist (but he's stable as much as a heap of decay can be stable) She wants in on the Five Billion walking-around money that Yasser had stashed in Swiss Banks.
Some of the PLO leaders wanted to see him and she said no --
from Reuters:
bq. The senior Palestinian officials hoping to come to France to visit their ailing leader Yasser Arafat put off their trip on Monday because Arafat's wife was opposed to it, a Palestinian official said.
bq. "The visit has been postponed because Suha (Arafat) would not allow them to come," the official told Reuters.
bq. Suha Arafat told al-Jazeera television overnight that the three -- Palestine Liberation Organization Secretary General Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie and Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath -- were plotting against her critically ill husband and wanted to see him die.
Or maybe they wanted to call her bluff and give her the boot.
