Expect chaos in the region if that's true.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was declared clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israeli television said citing French sources.
But Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie denied the report, saying: "I have just spoken to the officials in Paris and they say the situation is still as it was. He is still in the intensive care unit."
Israel's Channel Two television cited unnamed sources in Paris saying that Arafat underwent a brain scan and was found to be "no longer alive."
Palestinian sources earlier told Reuters that the Palestinian president, who was admitted to hospital last week with a mysterious stomach illness, had slipped into a coma.

It'll be interesting to see where it goes from now, he had an iron grip on the whole thing. There could be absolute chaos or hopefully finally move towards peace...
Chaos is not quite the word i would use. Actually there is not a word that describes what is about to happen if the story is true.
Its all being denied on sky news. Nothing has been confirmed.

Anyone have the misfortune to hear the boy Tubridy on rte 2fm this morning? a massive display of professional, well balanced broadcasting.
Firstly Mr T compares the dying Arafat to papa smurf, then proceeds (perhaps when this didnt get the laugh he expected in studio) to give an idea of what a dying man singing the smurf song would sound like.
Tres tasteful, and not remotely insulting to have a terminally ill man used as a prop for a pop culture gag.
This was followed by an embarrassed laugh in studio, and a quick switch back to Todayfm by me.
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has liver failure and his condition is not improving, say officials.
They say he may be moved from Paris to Cairo but any decision will have to be taken by the Palestinian leadership.
An unnamed official said a low count of platelets, which help the blood clot, meant blood transfusions were proving difficult.
