THREATS TO SHARON'S WIFE'S GRAVE

Threats to wife's grave worry PM
By GIL HOFFMAN

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is not worried about the threats he receives on a daily basis and he still refuses to wear a bulletproof vest, but Sharon told the Likud faction on Monday that he was concerned about threats to his wife's grave.

Sharon revealed that he had received threats from extremists to exhume the remains of his wife Lily, who died in 2000, a few months before he became prime minister. He said that his family had hired a private security company to guard the grave, which is on a secluded hilltop on his Negev ranch.

"These threats cannot go on and will not be tolerated," Sharon said. "Only sick minds could make such threats."
