He has lived through countless dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian(巴勒斯坦)leader, Yasser Arafat．
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb(自杀性爆炸)attacks on Israel．“He should take some responsibility for the killings,”an Israeli official said．“He has done nothing to stop the terrorist(恐怖主义)groups．”
But the decision has angered many other countries．China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East．This view is shared by other governments．
Arafat himself said：“They can kill me, but never get me out of my country．”He has spent most of his life in danger as the chief target of Israel．But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time．
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving target is harder to hit．
In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat．The wild bombing destroyed his old headquarters(总部)in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt．
In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing．The crew was killed but he managed to remain alive．
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger．
Israeli tanks and helicopters attacked his headquarters in Ramallah in December, 2001．When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat's bodyguards ignored(不理)his orders to stay still and carbodyguards were so scared they were soaked(washed)in sweat．
But Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 metres away, showed no fear at all．He stayed in the damaged office, contacting foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks form Israel．
All these experiences have made him a mysterious man, and one of the world's most legendary(传奇式的)leaders．
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell．
