Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, 75, has lost consciousness, Israeli public radio reported, quoting Palestinian sources.
He lost consciousness "several hours ago", it said.
Arafat's senior adviser Nabil Abu Rudeina, meanwhile, confirmed that a team of doctors was examining the veteran Palestinian leader.
"A team of Tunisian and Palestinian doctors is examining the president," Abu Rudeina said in a statement read out to journalists in front of Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
He said Arafat "needs more rest because of his fatigue" and added that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah II had offered to send doctors.
A source close to the Palestinian Authority said earlier that Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO's No 2, and premier Ahmed Qorei were also at the bedside of Arafat, 75, who officially has been suffering from a severe bout of flu.
LOL, and I'm sure Dan Rather will devote an entire show on the life of Arafat

The MSM would have to cover it, and kerry would be out in the open. No MSM. That's good for what? 36 hours?

Maybe the old bastard will actually earn nobel prize by dying and putting a muzzle on the kerry campaign. Classic Irony.
Sure, you and I may think that but somehow Kerry will try spin this to his advantage. I just hope he is stupid enough to do it....I think he is.
Maybe they will keep him on life support and pull the plug on Halloween.
