| RAMALLAH, West Bank - Yasser Arafat's nephew said Saturday the lack of a clear reason for his uncle's death raised suspicions the Palestinian leader died of "unnatural" causes. Hmm...viruses are pretty natural. The comments by Nasser al-Kidwa, after he handed over the 558-page medical dossier to Palestinian officials in Ramallah, were certain to fuel speculation that Arafat was poisoned. Arafat died in a French hospital on Nov. 11. Making it the best damn Veterans' Day in a long time! Rumors and speculation among Palestinians and the broader Arab world that Arafat was poisoned could make it more difficult for a new leadership to take control. Palestinian presidential elections are scheduled for Jan. 9. Al-Kidwa repeated his statement from last month that the French doctors were unable to rule out the possibility that Arafat had "Examinations of X-rays and all imaginable tests ... are still with the same results, the inability of reaching a clear diagnosis," Al-Kidwa said in English at a news conference in Ramallah on Saturday. Maybe it was Mad Cow? "That is precisely the reason why suspicions are there, because without a reason you cannot escape the other possibility... that there is unnatural cause for the death," he said. Well, yeah...I can't think of any blood infection that could possibly make someone waste away like Yasser did.... Al-Kidwa received Arafat's dossier from French medical officials last month. On Saturday he gave the records to interim Palestinian President Rauhi Fattouh in Ramallah. A committee will look over the file to try to determine the cause of death. Still trying to rule out things like Kuru, bad clams, fugu, etc. Al-Kidwa and other Palestinian officials have said Israel contributed to Arafat's death by Maybe they should consult a nice Jewish doctor instead? Al-Kidwa said Palestinian officials would pursue their investigation until they reach a "Dammit, we can't blame Suha for this one! |

| #5 The Paleos are having a Medical Records Swarm over the 558 page medical novel they just got. When they finish a-buzzin' over that one, maybe they can solve the Mystery of the Missing Billions, or do they have to send in Scooby Doo to solve that one. Morons. |

| #1 Rumors and speculation among Palestinians and the broader Arab world that Arafat was poisoned could make it more difficult for a new leadership to take control. It's not the rumors or the speculation that's the problem. It's the mentality of the people breeding them. |
