Arafat's wife lashes out at deputies

Accuses them of plotting to 'burv him alive'

Reuters, Paris
Palestinian leaders arc heading for Paris to see critically ill President Yasser Arafat at a French military
hospital despite a scathing attack by his wife who accused them of plotting to "bury him alive".
Amid an increasingly bitter row over Arafat’s fate, Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie, Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath and PLO Secretary General Mahmoud Abbas were en route to Jordan, from where they planned to fly to France aboard a privatejet.
Israeli media reported the 75-year-old president would be taken off life-support equipment after the three leaders, all seen as potential successors, had visited him in the hospital's intensive care unit । One official said they would ’arrive in France on Monday evening and discuss Arafat's medical condition — che subject of conflicting reports over the past week — with senior French officials onTYiesday.
The departure of the three leaders from the West Bank appeared to have been delayed after Arafat’s wife Suha lashed out at them in a television interview.
"I appeal to you to be aware of the scope of the conspiracy," shouted Suha Arafat, appearing on Arabic Al Jazeera satellite television and sparking a war of words with her husband's deputies.
"They are trying to bury Abu Ammar (Arafat) alive," she said in comments that flew in the face of efforts by Arafat's lieutenants to project an image of unity and business as usual at a time when many Palestinians fear chaos if he dies.
"Abu Ammar is well and he is coming back to his homeland," she said, accusing the three leaders of being desperate to succeed him and giving no details about Arafat's illness.
After her remarks, Palestinian and French officials said the trip from the West Bank had been called off. But Mohammed Dahlan, a former security chief close to Abbas, said later: "There is no change of plan. The delegation is going to Paris."
Palestinian officials have privately accused Suha Arafat, who had not seen her husband for three years before the ailing leader was flown to Paris on October 29, of limiting access to and information about the veteran leader.
"We express our utmost regret at the comments made by sister Suha," Qurie told reporters at the start of a cabinet meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah. "(Arafat) belongs to the Palestinian people."
Other officials were less diplomatic.
