Last news I heard (within the last 40 minutes) indicated that he
was
still 'technically' alive. Over the past days he's been alive,
dead,
getting better, getting worse, has cancer, doesn't have cancer etc.
It's tougher to figure out what's going on with Yassir than it is
with
Castro!

I turned on the local "all the news all the time" station to
corroborate your report. So far no mention over the past few
minutes,
will keep listening (and checking online), this is pretty
newsworthy
and shouldn't take too long to find something.

Just heard it on the news........ reports of his death are
premature.
However, Genralisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

And now for something completely different....

Discussion about this at work brought up a question as
to whether the Palestinians have access to a shortwave
transmitter or not. I can honestly say I have no idea, but
I figured that if they did at one time, the Israelis would
probably have put it out of commission by now...
