Palestinians will seek UN probe into Arafat’s death

DAMASCUS: The Palestinians will ask the UN Security Council to set up an international commission to investigate the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, a senior Palestinian official said. Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the Palestine Liberation Organisation’s mainstream Fatah faction, made the announcement Saturday after meeting in Damascus with representatives of the Syria-based radical Palestinian factions opposed to the PLO’s peace accords with Israel. The meeting discussed the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and Arab developments.

The PLO will submit a request to the UN Security Council “to form an international investigating commission into the assassination of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat,” Kaddoumi told reporters.

Arafat died in a French hospital Nov 11, 2004. The cause of death remains unknown. Kaddoumi said Arafat was poisoned by Israel “because he was a stumbling block to (Israeli) plans.” He added that all Palestinian groups are united in holding Israel fully responsible for Arafat’s death. Khaled Mashaal, the political leader of the militant Palestinian Hamas group, who attended Saturday’s meeting, had previously accused Israel of killing Arafat by poisoning him.

3. Hey, if you want to slurp up Pakistani journalism, be my guest.

[Coastie for Truth]

4. British MI5

:sarcasm: :rant:

I think Her Majesty's Service, Special Agent James Bond (007) of the famed MI5 knocked him off.

They probably figured he knew too much about Princess Diana - that should forever remain hidden. And what was Camillia's role? and what was Dodi Fayeed's tie to Yassir.

That is why the Queen ordered Diana killed - along with Dodi -- and Yassir knew about it, and had to be forever silenced.

And only "Bond, James Bond, 007" of Her Majesty's famed MI5 could be trusted to "do the deed."

6. Now who would want to assassinate Arafat??

www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-07,GGLD:en&q=assassinate%2Barafat

I still think he died through a combination of living conditions (being held captive) and lack of adequate health care. But, as so many here are wont to say, "...what the hell do you know..."

[Coastie for Truth]

11. Obviously New Orleans Real Estate mogul Clay Shaw

(Not the Congressman from Florida - but the real estate mogul from New Orleans)

Heck - he was hired by Castro to kill Kennedy. Jim Garrison proved that.

:sarcasm:

7. Given expressly stated Isr. policy of assasination, this isn't surprising.

[Coastie for Truth]

9. See post 4

:rant: :sarcasm:

Perfectly obvious that British MI5 and "Bond, James Bond, 007" killed Yassir, because he knew too much about the Royal Family's killing of Princess Di and Dodie Fayed. See, for example . There are well over 100 legitimate looking Google hits - not one or two, but well over 100 - describing a Royal family conspiracy to kill Diana and Dodi.

To finish the job Yassir had to be killed - to seal the deed foul.

"Bond, James Bond, 007"

:sarcasm: :rant:

12. The issue is whether there might have been foul play in Arafat's death.

I think since the Israelis have made clear their policy of "hot pursuit" and assasination of those considered by Israel to be terrorists, to wonder if Arafat might have been so treated is not at ALL a worthless question. Wasn't Sharon even caught on audio saying as much? (I seem to remember this happening in a panel discussion when he and one of the other participants thought the mike was off.)

(Post 4 does not address either the original issue, or my response. I can only presume this is because it hits a bit too close to the mark.)

20. Wait wait...

NoNoNo, it was the cuban mafia. Or the gay mafia... wait, we aren't talking about JFK are we?

[Scurrilous]

8. Now who would want to poison a Palestinian leader??*

Khalid Mashal

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Mashal.html

<snip>

"On September 25, 1997, Israeli Mossad agents tried to poison him. He would have died, but the Mossad agents were captured and provoked a crisis in Israeli-Jordan relations. King Hussein insisted that Israel send the antidote to save Mashal's life. Israel agreed and the two agents were later released in a prisoner exchange in which Israel released Sheikh Ahmed Yassin from jail."



*Not that I believe Arafat was poisoned.

[Coastie for Truth]

10. Khalid Mashal not Yassir Arafat

:sarcasm: :rant:

Makes about as much sense as saying Her Majesty sent "Bond, James Bond, 007" fo kill Arafat because Arafat knew too much about the murders of Princess Diana and Dodie Fayed,

But, with MI5 on Her Majesty's Service - one never knows.

:rant: :sarcasm:

[Wordie]

15. Whatever one believes its certainly not unreasonable to raise the question

I don't really believe it either; I just don't know. But given a combination of the stated policies of Israel, combined with the historical record, I sure understand why someone might believe it. It would be a perfectly sensible thing to conclude, given the information we have. I think those who ridicule the idea may be more worried about the idea and its implications than they let on. Why make such an effort, such a big deal about it, if it doesn't' hit pretty close to home?

[pelsar]

16. and why just israel?

well then.....perhaps you should add to your "i just dont know"...other countries with a "historical record of killing people"....here let me help:

Syria, Egyt, England, USA, Russia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia,.......

[Wordie]

17. The OP referred to Israel; nowhere did anyone claim it was "just Israel"nt

[pelsar]

18. but doubt is doubt...

if some is "not sure"....and there is no real evidence, seems to me no one should be left out:

[pelsar]

19. it a waste of time...

since the palestenians probably wont allow for an autopsy......any "inquiry" will be political.....rendering it a joke. Anybody backing such an idea without an autopsy with all the records being open is backing a "political blood libel"

[barb162]

21. If they want an inquiry about his death, too bad

they don't use other than "...assassination of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat." WHy use the slightly (haha) loaded word "assassination" as if it is already fact when you're really doing a death investigation, which might or might not be from natural causes.
