Ailing Arafat to be moved to Jordan

Ailing Yasser Arafat was expected to be moved from his West Bank compound to a hospital in the Jordanian capital of Amman tonight, a Palestinian official said.

The 75-year-old Palestinian leader was unable to hold down his food or stand up today, appeared confused and spent most of his time sleeping, associates said.

Doctors have conducted a battery of tests, but have declined to say what he is suffering from.
