Maariv is reporting this morning that the US is refusing to guarantee Arafat's safety. After the assassination of Yassin, Arafat apparently asked the CIA as well as other "avenues of assistance" in the US to guarantee that Arafat would not become a target. Apparently the US refused to give a commitment to Arafat that he would not be eliminated. If true, this would be a major change in US policy, which up till now has told Israel that Arafat is untouchable.
