Swiss radiation experts have confirmed they found traces of polonium on clothing used by Yasser Arafat which "support the possibility" the veteran Palestinian leader was poisoned.
In a report published by The Lancet at the weekend, the team provide scientific details to media statements made in 2012 that they had found polonium on Arafat's belongings.
Arafat died in France on November 11 2004 at the age of 75, but doctors were unable to specify the cause of death. No autopsy was carried out at the time, in line with his widow's request.
His remains were exhumed in November 2012 and samples taken, partly to investigate whether he had been poisoned -- a suspicion that grew after the assassination of Russian ex-spy and Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in 2006.

Uh, 3 words: “chain of custody”. CSI 101. How on Earth can clothing from Arafat’s dresser, held by God knows who for 9 YEARS, be considered as legitimate “evidence”?

Arafat died in France on November 11 2004 Off topic (sort of) but when Arafat finally warmed up and assumed room temp, I thought of the old joke about Arafat dying on a Jewish holiday (whatever day he died would be a Jewish holiday). How providential, then, that Arafat croaked in the month of Cheshvan, also known as Marcheshvan (bitter Cheshvan) for its lack of any Jewish holidays.

Given the half-life of polonium-210, and lead in the environment, this call is very iffy. It would have been more telling to do this several years ago.

That would be the widow who walked a way with a large (really, really large) check from the PLO, I mean Palestinian Authority to stay in France and keep quiet.

Swiss radiation experts have confirmed they found traces of polonium on clothing used by Yasser Arafat which "support the possibility" the veteran Palestinian leader was poisoned.9 years ago, half-life of 138 days, for the most widely available isotope (the dangerous one).
There'd be about one 4-millionth the original amount left.
He died of AIDS, not Israeli nuclear assassination.
