At the time President Arafat was still alive and in a French Hospital, there were various reports that he had contracted a serious blood disorder. Evidently in France the hospitals do not have to reveal cuase of death publicly and it was only disclosed to his next of kin (Mrs Arafat). I do not understand why his cause of death was not publicly announced after he passed away. This itself was highly suspicious at the time! Also in one Israeli Media, I read some reports about Mr Arafat's sexuality and the former boy friend of his wife being a Flangist Officer who was in Sabra. Also that the real father of the their daughter is a cousin of Mr Arafat, The Arab Media on the other hand are blaming the Israelis. During the PLO Lebanon war I read a report that an Israeli had Mr Arafat's head covered with his rifle but was ordered to stand down. There was also another report from Romanians that they had taped Mr Arafat with his male driver in a hotel room engaging in sexual activity. I do hope the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth will prevail. Then the Arabs and Israelis can start building good relationships as unfortunately Mr Arafat missed the opportunity for a historic peace in Camp David and he turned it down.

Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko was murdered in London in a “state-directed” execution. Two Russians,Viktor and Marina Kalashnikov, husband and wife, were poisoned by murcury while staying in Germany. A spokesman for the public prosecutors' office in Berlin confirmed that an investigation had been opened into whether the Kalashnikovs have been deliberately poisoned. Both were critical of the Kremlin. Viktor was a KGB colonel prior to leaving Russia. Andrei Lugovoi, a former KGB agent wanted by the UK in relation to the death of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko in London, was himself poisoned with radioactive polonium-210, according to a new Russian probe. I find it astounding that Russia will be participating in the probe of Arafat's remains. The Russians are the elite poisoners. Hmmm. I wonder whether Russia was growing weary of Yasser Arafat and decided to "replace" Arafat with someone that would be more able to cause trouble against Israel. Arafat was a sick old man, reportedly having a possible immune system disease.

can die again

You have some really really sad ideas and perceptions. You and the world know that Israel could have destroyed Gaza in a day if they really wanted to . Its just sad that you think that this was won by the Palestinians . NO ONE WON.You are just being pathetic if you really think this is the case.

Hey genius...the word "chico" is a boy. The correct word in this case is "chica" unless you know something about Sarah the rest of us don't.

"Since mid-November, the gravesite has been surrounded with a blue tarpaulin and roads leading to the Arafat mausoleum were closed. Palestinian officials said they don't want the process observed by media and others." In other words, they don't want anybody seeing them slip in the fake evidence

A sad lawyer wannabe (or the lowest tier in the profession)...His constant war rhetoric (and mind games) do not paint any feminine side. He is a monster hiding in Momy's basement.

But don't blame Zionists. The only possible scenario is that corrupt elements in Fatah together with Peres and Clinton thought up Oslo to make money and sc**w the Jews and Arabs. When it turned out that Arafat was not planning to "make peace" but wanted to win, they killed him. By the way, the only people who can get polonium are the US,Russians and French, maybe UK. Not Israel.

"A sad lawyer wannabe ( or the lowest in the profession) " Arafat was a piece of garbage, the lowest of the low and the fact he died is one of the best thing he ever did. Man or woman Sarah B is a lot more respectable both on here and in her profession as a lawyer than the Egyptian scum terrorist Arafat have ever been no matter how hard he tried.

Its called AIDs!

If this radiated isotope is a fast acting break down chemical, why is it still strongly active on cloths that are found in a closet 8 years later?...And they are not even sure that they will find anything in the decaying body! Yep, there is a scam going on here.

How do you propose to detect a signature of polonium that has never been submitted for examination? Would you know a North Korean sample, for example? You didn't "kick our ass." You've been reading too much Arab press, I suppose. Check out the Western press -- the ersatz "Palestinian" media and public relations campaign took a real drubbing. Besides -- if you "kicked our ass," why do WE still live where we live and why do YOU still live in ratholes? The ones that Israel didn't reduce to rubble, that is. Nope. I was in Saviyyon. Nyah., nyah. The percentages reflect the ever increasing majority of Israelis who think we should level Gaza once and for all and for ever. Anything short of that is not considered a victory. Of course, if you had a brain in your head, you would realize that the climbing numbers -- 56% now, 60% tomorrow, 66% the day after .... et cetera, et cetera really just spell your doom. That's representative of the people who don't give a hoot about what the international community thinks or doesn't think. Enjoy yourself while you can, chica. Your days are numbered.

Nour It is very unlikely Arafat was poisoned but lets assume for a moment he was and they find evidence of poisoning what next? Is Abbas going to have Israel charged with murder and then sent to prison? Fact is if the Egyptian sewer rat Arafat was poisoned and it was made public then it would probably lead to riots and your lot will suffer as a result. If the tests show the sewer rat wasn't poisoned the mob will say its a cover up and we will get riots and your people will suffer. The sewer rat may well end up causing your people more trouble from beyond the drain. Why don't you celebrate the fact he is death because he never brought you anything but trouble.

Dump the remains in a landfill.

You people blame Israel for every thing. Sorry, that was us when your chicken and rice got cold before eating it! Stupid people. Take responsibility for your own problems for a change.

Great!

Maybe some diamonds will also be found, what this money hungry thief swallowed.
