there have been rumors of arafat being a homosexual for years and years. it's been speculated that the mossad knew he had AIDS and simply kept him in that compound for the last several years knowing he wouldn't have much time anyway. they wanted to take him out, but figured that waiting for the disease to catch up with him was much more politically expedient.
all rumors right now though... i doubt we'll ever know for sure.
