Arafat Takes Turn for Worse, Aides Say

Yasser Arafat's condition has deteriorated significantly over the past day, and doctors treating him at a Paris hospital remain unsure what has caused the 75-year-old Palestinian leader's illness, Palestinian officials said early Thursday.

The Palestinian sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed an Israeli TV report that Arafat was in very serious condition. They said details would be disclosed at a previously planned news conference scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m. EST
