PIN-HEAD ARAFAT'S TERROR '$TRIKE'
Yasser Arafat was a secret investor in the city's hottest upscale bowling alley, according to a bombshell new report.
The Palestinian leader three years ago pumped $1.3 million into Bowlmor Lanes, the popular Greenwich Village recreation center that has attracted a galaxy of stars, from Cameron Diaz to Rudy Giuliani.

"This is a complete shock to us," said Bowlmor founder Thomas Shannon.

The entrepreneur said he had no idea he was pocketing money from Arafat when a holding company that handled some of the Palestinian boss' financial affairs began buying up 2 percent of Bowlmor's parent company in 2001.

Shannon said he became aware of the connection only after Bloomberg Markets magazine revealed it yesterday in an exposé on Arafat's finances.
