French magistrates have closed their investigation into the 2004 death of Arafat, the prosecutor’s office said Wednesday.

“At the end of the investigation… it has not been demonstrated that Mr. Yasser Arafat was murdered by polonium-210 poisoning,” the three judges ruled, according to the lead prosecutor at Nanterre court near Paris.

But lawyers for his widow, Suha Arafat, have argued that his death was a political assassination and vow to appeal the decision in court. …

Well, does his grave glow in the dark?

Polonium-210 has a half-life measured in days. If he had been poisoned with it radioactive decay would reduced the dose to the point where it is beyond detection.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. This is France. The accused must prove his innocence. The State of Israel must come in and prove that it did not kill Yasser. This is a perversion of French justice, as if failing to prove something actually proved anything.
