Israeli Vice Premier Says Killing Arafat an Option

Advertisements [?]

Israel's vice premier said Sunday killing Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was an option in its threat to "remove" him as an obstacle to peace.

"Killing (him) is definitely one of the options," Ehud Olmert, a mainstream member of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's cabinet, told Israel Radio.

"We are trying to eliminate all the heads of terror, and Arafat is one of the heads of terror," Olmert said.

Palestinian chief peace negotiator Saeb Erekat said in response: "This is the thinking and action of the mafia -- not a government."
