Arafat death report issued
Yasser Arafat "moderately" support a proposition that he died of polonium poisoning.

The findings released by the University Center of Legal Medicine of Lausanne -- first reported Wednesday by Al Jazeera -- do not address how Arafat, who died in 2004 at age 75, might have been poisoned or who might have done it.

The report comes a year after Arafat's widow, suspecting he was poisoned, had the body exhumed for tests after the radioactive isotope polonium-210 was found on some of his personal belongings in 2012.

The Swiss center said it identified "significant quantities" of polonium in biological stains on those belongings. Some polonium also was found in samples of remains taken during last year's exhumation, it said.

But the report expressed doubt that that could have occurred. It said that Arafat's widow had "certified that the measured personal effects have been stored in a secured room."

And biological samples -- including from bone -- also contained a higher concentration of the isotope, said Regan, who complimented the work of the Swiss experts.

"These are good forensic scientists," he said. "These results imply that, at the time of his death, Mr. Arafat had an amount of polonium-210 present in his system that would be significantly detrimental to his health."

How much would it take?

"It's a terrifyingly small amount," Regan said. "The size of a grain of salt, something like that."

Arafat, who first led the Palestine Liberation Organization and then the Palestinian Authority, died in a Paris military hospital in November 2004 after suffering a stroke after weeks of illness. Palestinian officials said in the days before his death that Arafat had a blood disorder -- though they ruled out leukemia -- and that he had digestive problems.

Rumors of poisoning circulated at the time, but the Palestinian Authority's then-foreign minister, Nabil Sha'ath, said he "totally" ruled them out.

French authorities -- responding to a request from Arafat's widow -- opened a murder inquiry into his death in 2012 after high levels of polonium-210 were detected on Arafat's toothbrush, clothing and his keffiyeh, the trademark black-and-white headscarf he often wore. France opened the investigation partly because Arafat died there.

Forensic experts from Switzerland and Russia took their own samples for independent analysis.

Radiation poisoning from polonium-210 looks like the end stage of cancer, according to medical experts. The radioactive substance can enter body by eating or drinking contaminated things, breathing contaminated air, or inhaling or ingesting bodily fluids from someone contaminated with it. A wound can also become contaminated.

There's no doubt that Yasser Arafat was terminated for blocking the Zionist grand plan. Only the dumbasses accepted his disease and death as a natural one!!!
