Report: France To Launch Probe into Yasir Arafat's Death
Agence France Presse reports that "French prosecutors have opened a murder inquiry into Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's 2004 death near Paris." In late July, Suha Arafat "formally asked for a French investigation into his death," according to the Associated Press.A couple of weeks ago, Palestinian officials invited Swiss experts to come and exhume Yasir Arafat's body and test for traces of polonium.
Shortly thereafter, the Swiss experts said that they did not want to be involved if the exhumation and testing results will be used for political purposes.
Last Wednesday, Agence France Presse reported that the "Swiss radiation lab is awaiting a decision from Yasser Arafat's widow on whether it should conduct tests on the remains of the former Palestinian leader to see if he was poisoned."
Two days later, Agence France Presse reported that Suha Arafat had given the go ahead, however, a lab spokesman said that they were waiting for "a formal, written letter from the lawyer before travelling to Ramallah."
