HeadlineNov 09, 2004

This news from France: Doctors are reporting that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s condition has worsened overnight and that this coma has deepened. This comes as tension grows between Arafat’s wife, Suha, and other Palestinian leaders. Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, ex-Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath and the speaker of Palestinian Legislative Assembly, Rawhi Fattuh, arrived in Paris from Ramallah late on Monday. But it remains unclear if they will be allowed to see Arafat.
