| 2004-11-15 |
| Dr. Fathi Arafat, the brother of Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Red Crescent Society's honorary President, died on Sunday in a Cairo hospital. Fathi, 71, was admitted earlier this month to a specialized hospital in Cairo to continue medical treatment for his terminal cancer and his condition was reported in recent days as "critical." A Kuwaiti daily reported on Saturday that Fathi Arafat's doctors decided not to update him regarding the death of Yasser Arafat. |

| #11 He was born Mohammed Yasser Abdul-Ra'ouf Qudwa Al-Husseini in Cairo on August 29th, 1929, he moved on to attend King Fuad University in Egypt, where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Architectural Engineering in 1951. In 1958 he left Egypt and moved to Kuwait, where he worked as an engineer. During this period, he met with Khalil El-Wazir [a.k.a. Abu Jihad; 1935-1988], where the two founded "Al- Fatah," or the Palestine National Liberation Movement, a terrorist organization dedicated to the eradication of Israel. The rest is a history of terrorism. |

| #4 Pic of Dr Fathi here. Doesn't come close to Yasser in the fugly stakes. I reckon Fathi's elder brother took out most of the branches of the Family Ugly Tree on his way down. There's a CV of Fathi here. He seems to have spent most of his time on matters of healthcare rather than terrorism. |

| #3 Fatty Arafat? I'm trying not to laugh, honest, cuz it might offend one of those Mythical fence-sitting Muslims who would've joined in the WoT and revealed Binny's cave location and the name of the Muslim Mole in State and some other really great important shit --- all except for that asshole poster on RB who laughed at Arafat's brother's first name. You know the one. One good thing, though unrealted to the WoT I admit, is that there is no picture of Fatty. A blessing. But, just for the record, which one was uglier? No pix, Mark - please! - I'll take your word for it. |
