Arafat may have hereditary cancer

Tue, Nov 02, 2004
Source UPI

CAIRO -- The brother of ailing Palestinian Authority chief Yasser Arafat is suffering from intestinal cancer and being treated in a Cairo hospital.

A Palestinian medical source told UPI that Fathi Arafat, Yasser's younger brother and former president of the Palestinian Red Crescent, was admitted to a hospital recently after his cancer worsened.

The source noted Arafat's sister, Yusra, also died last year from cancer.

The PA leader is currently being treated at a French hospital where he was admitted last week after suffering from severe stomach problems that resulted in a significant weight loss.

Unconfirmed reports said that he might be also suffering from cancer, a theory denied by Palestinian officials.
