#2 Guardian via Al Jazeera: David Barclay, a British forensic scientist who had studied the report, told al-Jazeera: "The report contains strong evidence, in my view conclusive evidence, that there's at least 18 times the level of polonium in Arafat's exhumed body than there should be." He said the report represented "a smoking gun"...(Suha) With Zahwa, 18, her daughter by Arafat, she said she suspected a "conspiracy to get rid of him", adding: "My daughter and I have to know who did it. We will not stop in our quest to find out. I hope the Palestinian Authority goes further on it, searching every single aspect of it. It is of course a political crime." She said: "This is separate from the peace process or talks. Any judicial investigation is separate from the peace process."

#5 It's actually pretty good, Ship.

(I don't think B's comment was about the polonium - rugulah (rugulach) is usually considered a Jewish pastry.) ;-p

#6 Interesting that the Swiss and French said "Yep, its polonium alright" and the Russkies are saying "Nope, ain't no polonium here."

So who had the most to gain by bumping off Arafat?

I say it is the Iranians. The Israelis really had nothing to gain from killing him.

#7 The official report will only be given when there is a rigorous forensic audit of Palestinian financial records and where the billions went.
