Arafat's widow calls for swift exhumation

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, sees no reason why Yasser Arafat's body should not be exhumed following an Al Jazeera report that he may have died of poisoning, his spokesman said on Wednesday.

Nabil Abu Rudeinah said that the Palestinian Authority would use "Arab and international scientific expertise" to review the findings.

A nine-month investigation by Al Jazeera found that Arafat's final belongings - his clothes, his toothbrush, even his iconic kaffiyeh - contained elevated levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element.

Arafat's widow Suha told Al Jazeera she fully supports the investigation.

She said that she had suspicions that it was a "crime".

Ah, another zio-pig with his cock chopped off too short. What's the matter, did the Rabbi's hand slip?

arafat was basically a high ranking member of the arab mafia, he had a shitload of enemies in the arab world not to mention that there wouldn't have really been any point for the israelis to spend that much time and effort to get that close to him by the time they would have had to have actually done it

the israelis aren't exactly brimming over with operators

Obviously Palestine doesn't have P-210... so at the end of the day, it was Israel. Either you are naive... or just a typical braindead Jew.
