Watching Arafat's body being delivered to its burial site on CNN, I was just waiting for the crowd to grab the coffin, send it crashing to the ground busting it open, and his body tumble out. Oi vey. Thankfully that didn't happen.
Israel's biggest fear was and still is that the mob will grab the coffin and march with it to Jerusalem with the intention to bury Arafat in the Temple Mount.
Scenarios like this tend to end with Apaches firing into crowds to stop them.
