Security sources: Arafat surrounded by human shield of women and children

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's men are surrounding his office with women and children as a human shield against an Israeli attempt to assassinate or deport him, Israeli security sources said yesterday.
The sources said Arafat's men have asked senior Fatah activists and members of the Palestinian security mechanisms to "volunteer" their families for a permanent vigil of women and children, which will obstruct any attempt to harm Arafat.
Since the Israeli cabinet decision last week to deport Arafat, many Palestinians and other delegations are arriving at the Muqata compound in Ramallah daily to support Arafat. Two Israeli delegations of Knesset members and peace activists have also visited.
But according to security forces, the PA wants to ensure a permanent presence of civilians around Arafat and will see to it that women and children also stay in the Muqata at night.
The PA officials' fear of an Israeli move against Arafat has increased following the cabinet decision and the attempted assassinations of senior Hamas members, including the organization's spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Arafat's people believe that after the attempted hit on Yassin, Arafat is also fair game.

イスラエルがアラファトの追放または殺害を決定した後、
アラファト側近がファタハや治安機関の上級メンバーに依頼し、
「ボランティア」（笑）として、家族を議長府に集めて、
泊まり込み体制で、「人間の盾」としてお勤めしてもらっているそうです。

この前、ロイターのインタビューで
「私はパレスチナの戦士として、パレスチナの子どもや女性を守る！」と銃を手に大見得切った議長さん。
その周囲には、こうした女性や子どもがたくさんいたそうです。
誰か「おいおい、それは逆じゃないの？」と突っ込み入れてあげてもいいのにね。
