Swiss report: Arafat poisoned • Israel: "The research is invited"

Chances are that Yasser Arafat was poisoned, reported this evening (Wednesday) network "Al Jazeera." Israel rejects the allegations.

According to the report, Medical University Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, discovered an unnatural amount of radioactive polonium in the emains of the body of Yasser Arafat, and soil collected from his grave site, while taking samples.

According to estimates by researchers, the prospect of gastroenteritis is 83 %. The researchers detected a large amount of polonium- 210 18 times more than normal. The findings are compatible with the network research published last year, and that traces of the deadly substance of his personal belongings were located.

Arafat's wife, Suha Arafat responded to the findings on Reuters: "A true crime, this is a political assassination."

Foreign Ministry reacted to claims. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said: "This is a soap opera which Arafat's widow, Suha stars in. Both teams examined the remains of Arafat in which were commissioned interests and were not independent researchers."

"Anyway, it does not matter when it comes to Israel because it has no connection to the death of Arafat," he noted.

Yasser Arafat was the Chairman of the PLO and the PNA. He was 75 when he died and he was given an autopsy at the request of his wife. But Palestinian officials accused Israel of poisoning.
