“Oh, Arafat”

An Arab boy on November 10 is lighting up an array of candles that form the Arabic letters that mean “Palestine,” in front of a French military hospital in the Paris suburb of Clamart, where the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is hospitalized. Amid conflicting reports over the death of Arafat, some foreign press reported that the Palestinian leadership will make an official announcement about his death that day.
