Arafat widow charged in Tunisia corruption probe
A Tunis court issued an international arrest warrant against the widow of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, TAP reported on Monday (October 31st). Suha Arafat, 48, was charged last week charges as part of a corruption case related to deposed president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, his family and several government officials.
Arafat's widow is wanted for alleged corruption that occurred in 2007, when she founded the Carthage International School in Tunis with Ben Ali's wife Leila Trabelsi, AFP reported.

After murdering the Palestinian cause, the leaders of this cause, the Arabs, are pursuing their treason, which is their specialty, by persecuting the widow. All the Arab leaders are rotten to the spinal cord. They do not represent their peoples, who hate them and who will eject them all, starting with the poisonous, toxic, degenerate monarchs.
