Arafat's death ‘unnatural’: Palestinian investigators
Online Edition
A Palestinian investigation committee said today that former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death was "unnatural."
"What the (Swiss and Russian) experts have concluded gets us closer to the truth, but it's not the end of the way," said Tawfiq Al-Tirawi, the head of the committee.
Tirawi accused Israel of being behind the "assassination."
Yesterday, Swiss scientists who analyzed samples from the corpse of Arafat confirmed the abnormal presence of radioactive polonium, but said poisoning remains a hypothesis, not a certainty.
Arafat died from an unknown disease while receiving treatment at a French hospital near Paris in 2004. Palestinian officials hinted that Israel was behind the death.
