Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's health has suffered a setback. He was rushed to an intensive care unit on Wednesday. Palestinian envoy Leila Shahid said Arafat's life is not in any immediate danger, with several positive developments to his health.

Early on Tuesday, doctors had said Arafat was responding to treatment and ruled out leukemia, though he could remain in the French hospital for several more weeks. Arafat had earlier sent his congratulations to Bush on his re-election.
