We just received this email from a friend of ours, David Dolan...
THURSDAY 5:30 PM ISRAEL’S HA’ARETZ NEWSPAPER HAS JUST QUOTED RADIO MONTE CARLO AS SAYING THAT YASSER ARAFAT HAS DIED. THIS HAS JUST BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF LUXEMBERG, WHO SAID HE PASSED AWAY AT JUST MINUTES AGO. EARLIER THE RADIO REPORTED THAT HE IS “CLINICALLY DEAD.” THE STATION HAS OFTEN BROKEN IMPORTANT MIDDLE EAST NEWS IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, PALESTINIAN SOURCES SAY THE REPORTS ARE UNTRUE. BUT ISRAELI ANALYSTS NOTE THAT THE PALESTINIANS MIGHT HAVE AN INTEREST IN SUPRESSING SUCH NEWS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. MINUTES BEFORE THE RADIO REPORTED ARAFAT HAS PASSED AWAY, ARAFAT’S DOCTORS SAID HE IS ON LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM AND WILL NOT RECOVER FROM THE COMA HE SLIPPED INTO EARLY THIS MORNING. I WILL BE GIVING AN UPDATE ON THE RAMIFICATIONS FOR ISRAEL AND THE REGION OF ARAFAT’S APPARENTLY IMMINENT PASSING ON THE MODDY RADIO NETWORK TODAY. THE PROGRAM CAN BE HEARD ON-LINE LIVE BEGINNING AT 5:00 EST IN NORTH AMERICA, 2;00 PM IN THE WEST, WHICH IS 22;00 GMT.
