Yasser Arafat

Why could Yasser Arafat be Mabus?

Israel's army chief of staff hinted Tuesday that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah may also be in the military's sights after the killing of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

Asked at a security conference in Tel Aviv whether the two leaders were also marked for death, Moshe Yaalon said: "I think that their responses alone yesterday show they understand that it is getting closer to them."

Yaalon said in a speech that the army's killing of Hamas founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Yassin in a Gaza City missile attack on Monday had dealt a "significant blow" to the radical Islamic movement.

Arafat denounced the killing of Yassin as a "barbaric crime" while Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, vowed to make Israel "pay very dearly".

Palestinian leader. Born Abdel-Rahman Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini. His date and place of birth are disputed; while he claims to have been born August 4, 1929, in Jerusalem, a birth certificate gives the date as August 24, 1929, in Cairo, Egypt

The young Arafat studied at Cairo University from 1952 to 1956, graduating with a degree in civil engineering. The early years of Arafat’s career at the head of the PLO were marked by violence, beginning in “Black September” of 1970, when Jordan’s King Hussein, then at odds with the PLO, ordered his army to act against Palestinian guerrilla camps positioned along the border between Jordan and Israel, killing many Palestinians. Even more shocking was the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, by Palestinian terrorists.
