Special report: Concern mounts over Yasser Arafat's health

   JERUSALEM, Nov. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The Israeli security cabinet has given green light for Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's burial in the West Bank city of Ramallah, local Ha'aretz daily reported Wednesday.

   Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon convened his security service chiefs and senior cabinet ministers Wednesday morning to discuss the burial site for ailing Arafat whose health condition turned to worse at a French hospital Tuesday.

   The meeting also touched problems inherent in safeguarding foreign dignitaries who may attend the funeral, the report said.

   Palestinian Negotiations Minister Saeb Erekat said Wednesday morning that Palestinian leadership has decided to bury Arafat in his headquarters in Ramallah if he dies.

   Israel would prefer that Arafat be buried in the Gaza Strip, but has been resigned in recent days to a Ramallah venue.  Enditem
