Warrant against Souha Arafat abandoned

The investigating judge in charge of the case of the International Carthage School decided, on Thursday, to abandon the international warrant issued against Mrs. Souha Arafat, a judiciary source told TAP news agency, on Friday. The Tunisian justice had issued, last October, a warrant against Mrs. Souha Arafat as part of the case of the International Carthage School started, in 2007, in the Tunis northern suburb by Leila Ben Ali, wife of the ousted president, and the widow of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The school was built illegally to serve special interests. The ousted dictator Ben Ali had decided on August 14, 2007 to prevent Mrs. Souha Arafat from her Tunisian nationality she had gained in September 2006. She then left Tunisia and settled in Malta, where she presently lives.
