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.

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.

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

Arafat has control over large parts of the Fatah and over many armed Palestinians, he also has a lot of political power.

At this stage, he uses this power and influence to cause as much damage as possible to Abu Mazen.

Getting rid of him will change a lot, especially now when the Pals have a PM that supposedly wants to calm things down.

I dont understand the posts the of couple of people here, I didnt think Arafat was a popular guy.

Anyway, Is he 100% responsable?? No, he controls a nation of nutters, and like Bin Laden (there will still be Al Queda with no bin laden) he is not the sole reason for the terrorism his people commit. However, he is certain to an extent responsable and that is the point here - Anyone who actively encourages Terrorism (even in a tiny enough way as Orange did) needs to be assisinated for the good of the World.

That Arafat is a wanted man is a good thing, the fact he continues to wage war against the Good Isreali people is enough reason for people to cheer his assasins - that is not supporting terrorism, but supporting the riddance of it.

Sending an anthrax laced package thorugh the mail isn't terrorism? Funny, in the US it was deemed as such. In Israel it is deemed as such. Why isn't it when the target has changed?

I don't like the man at all, but I don't like Sharon either. An 'assassination' attempt on either in this way is still Terrorism and should not be condoned as Jaguar Warrior did.

So you're calling for my assassination through a sarcastic post with no hint of sincerity behidn it meant to expose Jaguar Warrior for supporting Terrorism? Brilliant!

If he is going to support this act of terrorism, than it is no wonder that some Palestinians and other Arabs/Muslims resort to the same tactics. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Because the target is a leader of a country. This is an assasination attempt, not sending random or semi-random letters.

Assassination is not terrorism. We might debate the ethics of assassinating arafat, but it's not Terrorism.

The means makes it terrorism, in my eyes, especially when anyone could have been affected by that package.

So driving a bus packed with explosives into a building which Sharon is rumoured to be in isn't terrorism?

Does no one recognize that I do not support suicide bombings, and that it was not a serious statement? I suppose your fanatical hatred of Palestinians is clouding your judgement

Huh?

Atawa, where was it ever written that the Israelis sent it?

I have a strong fear you are reading what you want into it, and inventing facts along the way.


Orange - your claims are poorly done. Assassination is really not terrorism. Terrorism is by definition aimed to terrorize the leaders by hurting civilians, not to remove them.

And to claim that Azazel has a fanatical hate of someone other than capitalist pigs, is compltely out of touch with the truth.
