 Web portal Yahoo listed its coverage of the leader's demise as its most heavily e-mailed story less than an hour after his death was first reported. The story also garnered the top spot among the most popular stories on CNN's international news site. His death came as little surprise. Arafat was admitted to a French military hospital in late October, and rumors soon began circulating that his death was imminent. The contentious nature of Arafat's reign over Palestinian politics sent Web surfers to Internet message boards to debate the leader's track record. A quick scan of the various subject headers in Yahoo's discussion area threw light on just how divided sentiments about the leader remain. Some posters lavished praise on the deceased chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. One subject line stated: "He stood up to the white man." Other posters blasted Arafat: "Why are we honoring a terrorist?" Source: C-Net News
