'Palestinians" still trying to pin Arafat's death on Israel

Arch terrorist and Jew-killer Yasser Arafat is widely believed to have died of AIDS, but some of those who worshiped the PLO chief are still trying to get someone to "prove" that Israel was behind his death.

A former senior aide to the warmonger and Nobel Peace Prize laureate claimed Saturday Israel had poisoned his boss.

The Jerusalem Post quoted Bassam Abu Sharif as alleging Israel had injected Arafat with a poison that had halted the production of red blood cells, leading to his death.

Arafat died in a French hospital in 2004 after a protracted illness.

Abu Sharif said then-French President Jaques Chirac knew the "truth" but was covering it up "in order to protect Palestinian interests.

The three doctors who had treated Arafat also knew what the cause of death was and the type of poison that was used, he said.

Last month, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC) Ahmed Jibril said it was known that Arafat - a homosexual - had succumbed to the HIV-virus.

According to a CNSNews.com report filed on July 13, Jibril had made the disclosure in an interview on Hizb'allah's Al-Manar television the week before.

"Jibril said that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas [Abu Mazen] had told him that Arafat died of AIDS, according to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute," wrote CNSNews.

When Abu Mazen came to Damascus, Jibril had asked them: "What happened to the investigation into the death of Abu Amar [Arafat's nom de guerre]? The Israelis killed him. He was my colleague ever since 1965 and used to sleep at my home. He and I followed the same path."

But, Jibril said, they had been silent.

"And then one of them said to me: 'To be honest, the French gave us the medical report, that stated that the cause of Abu Ammar's death was AIDS.'

"I am not saying this, they did."
