Switzerland - Who killed Arafat?
Print Edition
Yasser Arafat’s mysterious 2004 death turned into a whodunit after Swiss scientists who examined his remains said the leader was probably poisoned with radioactive polonium.
Swiss scientists said on Thursday that they found elevated traces of polonium-210 and lead in Arafat’s remains that could not have occurred naturally.
Hard proof remains elusive, and nine years on, tracking down anyone who might have slipped minuscule amounts of the lethal substance into Arafat’s food or drink could be difficult.
A new investigation could also prove embarrassing since Arafat was holed up in his Israeli-besieged West Bank compound in the months before his death.
