(0)According to recent reports, Yasser Arafat is in a state of superposition. Palestinian and French sources state he is dead and alive at present. If true, this represents the greatest breakthrough in applied quantum physics of the still youthful 21st century.
Professor Unzer N.T. Katz, a Quantum Mechanic, told reporters: "This is the most amazing event in the history of Quantum Mechanics! We experimentalists have managed to superpose an electron here and there, or perhaps a few measly atoms... but to superpose an entire human being! The implications are staggering! They are beyond imagining!"
French doctors were unavailable for comment.
What's needed is something to cause his quantum state to collapse. Collapsing the building he's in might do it. (Anyone got a spare Tomahawk cruise missile lying around?)

Dale, he's been in superposition for years. Otherwise, how could he be both a notorious terrorist leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner at the same time?

Someone opened the box. The state vector has colapsed. Turns out, the bastard's dead.

In some other poor universe, he's still alive, sending "millions of martyrs" out to kill.

Hopefully, our was the last universe he died (of AIDS) in.
