Yasser pulls a rod on his security goon
Yasser Arafat and his West Bank security chief got into such an angry argument that the PLO chairman-for-life drew his pistol. In a scene out of a Wild West movie, bodyguards of both men also pulled out firearms before security chief Jibril Rajoub was dragged out of Arafatâs headquarters. The confrontation began when Rajoub - who has described himself as Arafatâs successor - urged Arafat to crack down on terrorism in order to win back some respect from the Bush administration. Arafat accused Rajoub of insubordination. At one point Arafat shouted at Rajoub: "Israeli spy! CIA agent!" Arafat also slapped Rajoubâs face before the security chief was pulled from the room by Arafatâs bodyguards.
Those Israelis are really sadistic at heart. It would have been so much more merciful to just kill the old thug than to let him deteriorate into incoherence.
