Yasser Arafat "found Jesus" before his death, claims evangelical friend

In an interview with Premier Christianity magazine, published in the UK, Dr Kendall said Mr Arafat had wept while watching Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, which depicts the crucifixion, and that they had spoken about how to become a Christian.

He said that while he could not be certain that Arafat was “saved”, he believes he may have become a Christian.

“It wouldn’t surprise me to see him in heaven,” he said.
