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.
And ululate. We women have GOT to ululate.
Ditto
Please let it happen, and skerry go out before the camera and talk about the loss of a great hero of the Pali's. Please let it happen.
"...God...does not rejoice in the death of even the wicked..."

Maybe he does, and maybe he doesn't;
but there is one thing for sure;
I most certainly DO rejoice;
every time I see evil stumble;
and every time I see good triumph;
I can do that;
what with me not being god, and all that.
Amen
"Hello,PLO!" Does anyone one remember this from SNL in the seventies---John Belushi? Hysterical in his Arafat wardrobe.
They'll all blame Bush for his death. Will Arafat die already!
Bush hasn't allowed him to come visit so he can get American medical care. Damn Infidels...
May Arafat die soon so we can mark another terrorist off the to-do list
She's living in Paris with billions in swiss banks, probably glad to see him off.
See what patience will do - GWB ignored Arafat which was a smart move. Our State Department created careers for diplomats for over 50 years who were always "on the edge of solving the crisis."
That was all wasted time and effort - GWB laid out the ground rules and waited Arafat out - Arafat loses. Maybe now everyone wins.
Oh, tell him to go have his gallbladder out. He can't get the surgery??? Why not.
He has gallbladder disease according to an earlier article.
~~~~~PANTYGRAM FOR ARAFART!~~~~~~~
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
72 Virginians
are waiting for you.
...and there are several million people who hope it's the Big Sleep.
"Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his way and live? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore, turn yourselves, and live ye."--Ezek. 18:23, 32.
"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"--Ezek. 33:11.
Funny how the man who sent scores of teens and twenty-somethings off to suicide themselves for martyrdom is dying slowly of old age in a bed. What a gutless turd and hypocrite.
Well, the question is whether he is really unconscious or if this is a bleeding heart story of the comeback terrorist.
If he dies, someone takes his place. Still, won't shed a tear to have him gone.
They should do him like they do lame horses.
LMAO,,where is howard when we need him ?
