RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - The remains of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will be exhumed Tuesday as part of a renewed investigation into his death, a Palestinian investigator said Saturday.

Arafat died in November 2004 in a French military hospital, a month after suddenly falling ill. Palestinian officials claim he was poisoned by Israel, but have not presented evidence. Israel has denied such allegations.

Earlier this year, the detection of a lethal radioactive substance in biological traces on Arafat's clothing sparked a new investigation. Tests were inconclusive, and experts said they need to check his remains to learn more.

On Tuesday, Swiss, French and Russian experts will take samples from Arafat's bones, said Tawfik Tirawi, who heads the Palestinian team investigating the death. They will examine the samples in their home countries.

Should have flushed twice to be sure that he wouldn’t be back!

If there was ever anyone who deserved to glow in the dark, it was Arafat.

Well...first, there’s the question over how many folks could have the radioactive material....less than twenty.

While most would like to believe Israel is the culprit....at least with Arafat, they knew the true score...with Hamas running everything now, I don’t think they have such an edge. So I doubt that they truly wanted him out of the picture.

Finally, if you get to some point where you know the Russian mafia was involved (the likely folks)...who would have paid them off to run a game like this?

Thanks Morgana.

I’ll bet when they dig him up, they’ll find he hasn’t changed much, in his looks or his thinking.

If there were any doubt about what they’d find, they wouldn’t be digging him up. The Russians will find exactly what the Palis hired them to find.

Exactly. There should be zero doubt as to what they’ll ‘’find’’.
