Thread Name: Arafat is dead--11 November 2004
Subject: RE: Arafat is dead--11 November 2004
I just heard a report on the radio that Al Jazeera (hardly a pro-Israel or pro-American news agency)is reporting that the money that Arafat skimmed off the Palestinians is not the $300 million that Forbes Magazine reported a while back, but somewhere between $3-5 BILLION.

Al jazeera is also reporting that Mrs. Arafat has agreed to turn over the various accounts containing that money to the Palestinian Authority. In return, she'll be paid $22 million PER YEAR for the rest of her life.

Imagine, she'll be forced to survive on less than $61,000 per day.
