Palestinians: Yasser Arafats

Yasser Arafats: Yet hard proof remains elusive, and nine years on, tracking down anyone who might have slipped minuscule amounts of the lethal substance into Arafats food or drink could be difficult, according to 660 News. The Palestinians themselves could come under renewed scrutiny, since Arafat was holed up in his Israeli-besieged West Bank compound in the months before his death, surrounded by advisers, staff and bodyguards and Yasser Arafats mysterious 2004 death turned into a whodunit Thursday after Swiss scientists who examined his remains said the Palestinian leader was probably poisoned with radioactive polonium. A new investigation could also prove embarrassing and not just for Israel, which the Palestinians have long accused of poisoning their leader and which has denied any role.
