THE ARAFAT MYSTERY PART III.

Twice since this story came alive I have commented on where it might head and why it may have come to the forefront.

So, why would I talk about this yet again?

Simple, this stories drama may be taking on a new twist.

Was Arafat murdered?

Perhaps.

By whom?

Don't count out his Palestinian rivals / Hamas.

The Israelis?

Perhaps; wouldn't be the first time they went to such lengths.

If you've watched the news in the past two days, it's easy to see what most Arabs are waiting for; the confirmation that he was murdered.

It could be a classic example of, don't let the facts get in the way of a good opinion.

If the French "experts" don't find what his ex wife hopes they will find, then what?

Is it a cover up by the French?

If they do find he had an unexplainable level of a toxin in his body, then what?

Who needs this story to ignite massive protest?

Who needs the distraction?

Iran?

They are on the list, but there are others.

Assad?

He would like anything to distract the region right about now, given Gaza fizzled out on him.

Hamas?

I don't think so, although they would play to the anger side of the story especially if it lead to a West Bank in turmoil; if you didn't notice... Gaza took it on the chin again and the West Bank didn't even lose power for the Soccer matches.

What has changed and who might be able to leverage the story sooner rather than a few months?

Yep... Mursi...

His miscalculation, and I'm still not sold it was one, on his new "decrees" could lead to far more trouble than he anticipated.

You see, I'm not so sure the Egyptian Military will not take this golden opportunity to make one last move on the MB before it really is too late.

The rest of the world needs this story of Arafat's death to take as long to unfold as the United Nations Special Tribunal Lebanon investigation..... 6 years and counting.

Could a report stating Arafat was murdered create a crisis in the region?

I don't see how it wouldn't.

This story is not going to go away.
