Body of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat exhumed as experts search for clues to death
THE remains of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat were exhumed from his grave today so international forensic experts could search for additional clues to his death, Palestinian officials confirmed.
• A team of French, Swiss and Russian experts will examine samples taken from Yasser Arafat’s bones for traces of the poisonous substance Polonium-210
• The source of an illness the Palestinian leader suffered from in his final weeks has never been clear, leading to suspicions in the Arab world that he was poisoned by Israel
