The Palestinian racketeer can't take it with him. Vultures already circling his future widow.

The Fight For Arafat's Fortune Begins:

"According to Jean-Claude Robard, a Swiss investment adviser, Arafat opened his first secret bank account in 1965 with a $50,000 check from the emir of Kuwait. Since then he has set up other accounts in Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands.

"Arafat also owns a number of hotels and holiday resorts in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria. He is the main shareholder in two cellular telephone companies operating in Tunisia and Algeria.

"Some of Arafat’s businesses are in partnership with Arab politicians, former officials and entrepreneurs, including Rifaat Assad, a brother of the late Syrian President Hafez Assad, and Barzan Al-Takriti, a half-brother of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Al-Takriti is now under arrest in Baghdad."

No wonder the man can't stand up, his wallet must weigh a ton!

1. With the Arab world being so advanced, why couldn't Arafat get adequate treatment at a hospital in Jordan, Egypt, or Syria? Why was it necessary for him to be taken in by the Frog surrender monkeys?

2. Pure speculation: With all the "concern" about what his ailment is, what's the possibility/probability of aids?
