Meanwhile, the Israeli military has been placed on high alert and Palestinian security forces are reviewing their plans to keep Palestinian territories calm in the event of Arafat's death.
I do not like the sounds of that paragraph. I don't really know intricate details about the entire situation there. Does the PLO have enough infrastructure to fill the vacuum if he dies? Would any Palestinian violence be more 'in his name' then anything? Would Israel take the opportunity to go in a kick some butt?
