Suha Arafat withdraws millions of dollars of investment from Tunisia
"Bethlehem- Ma'an- Suha Arafat, widow of former Palestinian president, Yasser Arafat, withdrew millions of US dollars worth of investment from Tunisia before her Tunisian citizenship was revoked, according to international news agencies.
Mohammed Buadli, director of the Qirtaj International School, said that he was asked by the Tunisian authorities to close the institute. He also received a fax from Suha Arafat informing him that she had abandoned the idea of opening the international school which was to open next month.
He added that she had informed him in the fax that she had not had anything to do with the closure of the Lewis Pasteur Institute, also run by Mohammed Buadli
Buadli had accused Suha Arafat and her business partner, Asmaa Mahjoub, who is said to have close ties with the Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's family, of being behind the closure of the Institute.
News agencies have reported that Suha Arafat's investments in Tunisia were estimated to have been about 40 million US dollars."
