| French Experts Rule Out Arafat Poisoning, Israel 'Not Surprised' |
| 2013-12-04 |
| [An Nahar] French experts have ruled out a theory that Yasser Arafat was killed by poisoning, a source close to the investigation into the Paleostinian leader's 2004 death told Agence La Belle France Presse. "The report rules out the poisoning theory and goes in the sense of a natural death," the source said. The French experts' findings differ significantly from those of Swiss scientists, who said last month that their research offered some support for the suggestion Arafat was killed by polonium poisoning. Rumors and speculation have surrounded Arafat's death since a quick deterioration of his health saw his passing at a military hospital near Gay Paree in November 2004 at the age of 75. French doctors were unable to say what killed him and an autopsy was never performed, at the request of his widow. Many Paleostinians believed he was poisoned by Israel -- a claim repeatedly denied by the Jewish state. Israeli foreign ministry front man Yigal Palmor told AFP the results of the French probe were "no surprise". |
