Al Jazeera argues that Arafat's corpse and personal effects contained 9x the usual amount of Polonium-210 as usually found in humans.  Polonium is, of course, the radioactive poison used to kill Alexander Litvinenko.

Arafat died in 2004.  He showed many of the same symptoms in his last days as Litvinenko did.

It is very advisable to examine and dissect the men of science for once, since they for their part are quite accustomed to laying bold hands on everything in the world, even the most venerable things, and taking them to pieces.

It's possible, but there are too many credible suspects and too much time has passed to say definitively who did it if it was.

It didn't matter anymore if Yasser Arafat lived or died once the Israelis withdrew from GAZA and had the fence implimented, and Sadam Hussein death, his influence on suicide bombings were waning anyways and Abas was sooner or later gonna be PLO prez.
