    Arafat 'received anthrax' in post

    Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has escaped an assassination attempt, after being sent a package containing anthrax in the post, a former Palestinian minister has said.

    Hani al-Hassan, until recently Mr Arafat's security advisor, said the package was intercepted by Palestinian security officials and did not reach the veteran leader.

    Mr al-Hassan said the package originated in the Far East, and reached the Palestinian territories after passing through Israel.

    Mr Arafat has survived more than a dozen assassination attempts over the past four decades.

    Analysed

    Mr al-Hassan said the package was found to contain a mysterious white powder.

    "At first, we didn't know what kind of powder it was and we didn't waste time in having it analysed in a safe location," he told the Arabic Al-Hayat newspaper.

    He said it was sent to a laboratory, where it was identified as anthrax.

    Mr al-Hassan said it was the latest in a long line of attempts on Mr Arafat's life.

    "I have witnessed 13 assassination attempts against President Arafat, in Beirut and other places. He escaped them all," he said.

    He said the Palestinian Authority was unable to investigate where the package had come from because of Israeli restrictions on the Palestinian territories.

    I guess Arafat didn't put enough postage and it got return of post... Guess he'll have to try again.

          This Arafat really seems unkillable. He must have an incredible skill in dodging attempts on his life. I suppose we can only wait for him to die of old age...

                  His family is known for it's longevity. Most lived till 90.

                  Arafat is 73-74.

                  The prospects arent good.

                    yeah, arafat is to blame for everything. he has a tight grip on what everyone does. blaming one man for your ills is scapegoating and we all know how becoming that was of oppresive regimes.


                    the fact that someone who is jewish could condone the activities of a would be murderer appauls me. youd think after all youve gone through as a race and religion youd understand that violence is never the end to a problem. it will only create a new set of problems while ripping you to shreds like too much glucose in the veins of your kidneys.

                          Sorry , I meant Jew's not Americans.
                          Anyway to the point, there is nothing here to suggest these folk support thier own PM's actions, people are merely condemning a Terrorist - and I share thier sentiment....

                            MRT is correct to a point-Arafat is not the source of Palestinian terrorists. However, he played a very large part in encouraging and equipping those terrorists, who have killed tens of thousands since the inception of the PLO

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

                              but i mean to suggest that arafat is solely responsible for all the problems with peace and killing him would change a lot is daft.
