Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who rose from guerrilla icon to Nobel prize-winning peacemaker only to fall into isolation amid new violence with Israel, was declared dead in a Paris hospital November 10, 2004, officials said. The 75-year-old Palestinian president's death, announced at his West Bank headquarters of Ramallah, ended days of rumors over his condition. A December 14, 1998 file picture handed out by the Palestinian Authority shows Arafat (L) and former U.S President Bill Clinton during a visit in Gaza. [Reuters]
