Yasser Arafat in passing

Darn.. this is the second time I'm writing this. If a power surge happens again I'll kill this PC!
************************************************************************************

Yasser Arafat(1929-2004) passed away peacefully today, may he find peace.As I'm writing this, CNN is broadcasting the 'live' telecast of Yasser Arafat being sent to the France military airbase.His official funeral will be held in Cairo, Egypt before being flown to Ramallah, West Bank which will be his final resting place. Seen in the TV was Suha, Arafat's 41-year old wife who was living in France luxuriously for 3 years with their daughter but without her husband.

There were claims that she was protecting her husband without a cause,preventing the Palestinian high officials from seeing her husband before he passed away.She claimed they are here to bury her husband alive. It was pretty absurd on why she did so; it was very cumbersome because these are her husbands' colleagues,comrades,friends.Rumors had it that she was doing this because of the assets worth about US$1 billion belonging to Arafat.But then again, if the money doesn't go to her , who will it go to??? And doing all this wil only make the sick man sadder , already he had his own illness to take care of.If he did not die because of a sickness , he would because of the controversy.May God bless his soul and forgive his sins.
