The news here has just announced, making it fully clear it's not fully confirmed, that Yasser Arafat has died.

News is that he is, in the words of Monty Python, Not Dead Yet.

But has only a matter of hours. One report says that someone has said on condition of anonymity that he *is* dead - but they will announce it later.

Whether or not he is actually technically and formally dead, his era is over. And we will all hold our breath to see what happens now.
