As much as a I dislike Arafat, a power vacumn in Palestine is probably the worst thing that could happen there.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was declared clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israeli television said citing French sources.
But Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie denied the report, saying: "I have just spoken to the officials in Paris and they say the situation is still as it was. He is still in the intensive care unit."
Israel's Channel Two television cited unnamed sources in Paris saying that Arafat underwent a brain scan and was found to be "no longer alive."
Palestinian sources earlier told Reuters that the Palestinian president, who was admitted to hospital last week with a mysterious stomach illness, had slipped into a coma.

I concur. At least it seems the terrorists will be distracted for the time being, though.Originally Posted by Tigana

Awesome news.
The Red Sox win the WS, Bush gets re-elected, Almaci gets permabanned from TNL, and now Arafat is dead? This has been the best 7 days ever.

Reminds me of that one episode of the simpsons.
"Mr. Burns was declared clinically dead at the hospital today, then he was moved to a better hospital, where his condition was upgraded to ''alive.''".
