Bagpuss,

You will find it on www.news.com.au

But to save you the trouble - here's the article:

By the way if you go into Google and type in Forbes Magazine, scroll down you will see a link to an article "Auditing Arafat" - read that it will explain the where and how of Arafat's means to acquire such wealth - It didn't come from wages or fees from lecture tours.

Interesting to see old Saddam up there with the big earners - and here's me thinking that he does what he does from the goodness of his heart and out of love for his country and people.
