Arafat to convalesce in Tunisia
Ailing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will convalesce in Tunisia after undergoing medical treatment in France, Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) political chief Faruq Qaddumi said Wednesday. "After undergoing treatment he will need time to rest," Qaddumi said before leaving for Paris in the company of other Palestinian leaders. "He will be here in Tunis, soon, if he lives out the week God willing." Qaddumi would not be drawn on whether Arafat, who is suffering from a blood disorder, had been poisoned. "The medical reports which will be published on Thursday will give us an explanation of his condition," he said.
