Arafat dead?
 

No link... someone in a chatroom just told me he has died tonight

Has anyone else heard anything?

He has died tonight? :hmm: He has died already, or he will die tonight? Anyway, i dont think hes past yet. CBS news report just an hour ago said "CLAMART, FRANCE - When Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat dies, he can be buried in the Gaza Strip, Israel has decided." Im guessing that means he hasnt died yet. I dont think anyone is really sure, it says later in the report that his family doesnt want the doctors to comment on his condition.

nothing on British news tonight. but he probably has been dead for a couple of days if you ask me. give till wednesday and it will be confirmed.

I read somewhere that he was pronounced dead, but then they said nope, he's still alive. I just checked cnn.com and he has been in a coma for 3 days.

He is dead..... they just don't know it yet.

"Arafat in a coma, I know I know... its serious."

I've had this song stuck in my head since they reported he had gone into a coma.

He's probably brain dead at this point, just on life support until they can find someone to fill in once he's gone. Hopefully someone a bit more moderate. What the Middle East needs right now is some moderate leaders who can compromise and get a peace plan on the table
