The first medical worker to arrive was Christian Mailliez, 36, an off-duty emergency-service doctor who happened to be driving through the opposite lane of the tunnel on the way back from a birthday party. "There was a lot of smoke," he told TIME and CNN in a joint interview. "People were speaking loudly. There was a kind of panic, like one usually finds at accident scenes."

According to an intelligence agency, Arafat has taken to telling close aides that he doesn't think he'll make it to his 70th birthday, two years away. After noticing his trembling hands, some observers believe he has early symptoms of Parkinson's disease. As far as the fainting episode is concerned, a high-ranking aide explains that Arafat, who keeps a notoriously irregular schedule, hadn't slept the two previous nights. But if Arafat, the only leader the Palestinians have known for 28 years, should depart...
