"We are revealing a real crime, a political assassination," she told Reuters in Paris, after receiving a report from the Lausanne University Hospital's Institute of Radiation Physics on samples taken from Arafat's grave in the West Bank city of Ramallah, when the mausoleum was opened last November.
The Swiss scientists found a lethal level of polonium-210 in his body, Al Jazeera television news channel said. That confirmed the findings of an investigation by the Qatar-based channel last year that detected traces of the isotope on Arafat's personal effects.

"israelis always deal from the front." How are you so sure?
So whats next forget and move on?? same way the lower class and weak people are robbed of their rights in the world.. where are the human rights commissions..
since muslims bury the dead body anybody could have contaminated his body with polonium to frame israelis. israelis always deal from the front . not like pakistanis who use their strategic sneaky terrorists. mard hamesha aage se ladta hain. joh peche se ladtha hain woh hijda hain.
Here are some interesting facts about Polonium 210.
Polonium 210 is 250,000 times more potent than Hydrogen Cyanide, the next most potent poison available. Only a doze of 15 micro-grams (less than a grain of sand) of Po210 is sufficient to kill a healthy person in a slow manner stretching over several weeks, thus making it extremely difficult to trace back to the killer. Unfortunately, there is no cure/antidote available for Po210 poisoning even if you know its presence in the body, which in itself is a task impossible as it requires very specialized equipment only available with very few places in the world. However, with the proper equipment, you can not only detect its presence in the body, but also in the clothes, other personal belongings, the people the person came into contact with and also in the places he visited not only after days, but also several weeks later. Luckily though, its production and distribution is highly regulated and produced in very minute quantities. The total world production of Po210 is only 20 grams per year.
Wouldn't it be nice if she returned the fortune her husband stole from the Palestinian's? Of course the fact that she isn't living in Palestine is anecdotal evidence that returning money isn't going to happen.
If they can't tolerate the liberals among Palestinians how they gonna come to terms with Hamas?

Liberals will still defend Israel.
