Yasser diverted a huge amount of money ($4 Billion?) that was supposed to help the Palestinian people into secret bank accounts that only he had access to. I guess he doled out some of this money at some point or another, but his death would have made it unattainable. She allowed the PA folks access to Yasser while he was sick but alive only when they promised to give her a golden parachute. Or… she knew the secrets to where they were hidden, and forked them over after the payoff was assured.
Ok, the story was in the New York Post but what the heck, I’ll spread a rumor or two.
Here is a passage taken from a 1987 book by said Spymaster, i.e. General Ion Pacepa, deputy chief of Romania’s intelligence service:
“I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the ‘Fedayee,’” Arafat’s code name, explained Munteaunu. “After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the ‘Fedayee’ is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He’s playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena.”
