This subject came up tonite with some friends ... actually was a political science prof that raised this issue .... is Arafat really dead? Apparently Yasser's wife said he didn't. A visiting Cuban who was amongst us in the discussion doubts that he is dead also.

Anyway ... just something of interest that I'd toss down here in the Madcat BS. Actually I couldn't care less if he is as he now out of the picture but the whole thing is rather intriguing.
