UN ASKED TO INVESTIGATE ARAFAT'S DEATH
It appears that the United Nations might soon add coroner to its ever lengthening list of roles:
A senior Palestinian official has called for a U.N. investigation into the death of Yasser Arafat, reiterating allegations that the Palestinian leader was poisoned by Israel.The UN won't be happy until it has a finger in every pie or, in the case of Arafat, arsehole.
Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization's mainstream Fatah faction, said Arafat was poisoned by Israel "because he was a stumbling block to (Israeli) plans." Other Palestinians have made the same charge in the past and Israel has repeatedly denied it.
The PLO will ask the U.N. Security Council "to form an international investigating commission into the assassination of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat." Kaddoumi told reporters on Saturday.
Arafat died in a French hospital on Nov. 11, 2004 at age 75. The exact cause of death remains unknown, fueling persistent rumors that he was either poisoned or died of AIDS.
Kaddoumi was speaking in Damascus after meeting representatives of the Syria-based radical Palestinian factions opposed to the PLO's peace accords with Israel. He said all Palestinian groups are united in holding Israel fully responsible for Arafat's death.

Arafat died of a heart attack, not of AIDS. The heart attack came when the doctors told him he had AIDS.
Mrs. Arafat poisoned him for his money. There. Let them chew on that for a while.
