#1 Why don't they just sneak in there and put a pillow over his face. Shouldn't be too hard since his body guards probably have the proficency of the average rap star's.
But if the IDF have "death rays", will they be wrapping him in tin foil?

#2 The sources said that one speculated method of assassination could be the direction of poisonous rays towards Arafatâs brain.

He's been talking to Kucinich again...

#3 I'd rather try the Noriega tactics. Didn't Metallica music work wonder during interogations of terrorists? For title, I suggest: "For Whom The Bell Tolls".

Rock over Ramallah!

#4 ...the direction of poisonous rays towards Arafatâs brain

But wouldn't they need to be remarkable shots? Such a tiny target...

#5 Dr Rantissi and other leaders have recently refused to give interviews to foreign television channels ...

They'd certainly know about this tactic, since it's a favored al-Qaeda one. Just ask Massoud in Afghanland. He's easy to find, stays in one place these days.

#6 TGA - great thought, but the most appropriate Metallica song (yeah, I like 'em) is "King Nothing", don't you think....ahhhh the pathos

#8 ..and that they should not rule out physical liquidation.

One 2,500 pounder would be all that's needed for that.

#10 If youre referring to Sirhan Sirhan, he's doing time in Chino Correctional right now......

Why cant Arafat fall in the shower, or slip on some tea?

#11 I'd like to see a picture of Arafat with his head wrapped in tin foil. Maybe that would convince the rest of the arab world what most of the rest of us already know: most of the "leadership" there are pretty well gone mentally.

#12 B-a-R:
One 2,500 pounder would be all that's needed for that.

A large car bomb would be more appropriate, I think -- it's not like they don't know where he's located...
