Palestinian leaders said Monday they had asked for a full report on Yasser Arafat's death in a Paris hospital last week, challenging French laws under which his widow has maintained a veil of secrecy.
Palestinian militants have accused Israel of poisoning Arafat, a charge denied by Israeli and French officials but which threatens to fuel discontent in the West Bank and Gaza and complicate the succession process.
"We do not want to jump to conclusions. We only want to have the medical report, though we trust the French doctors and the French government," Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior figure in the Palestine Liberation Organization, told Reuters after his government sent a request to Paris.
"The report will give us a clear picture of the cause of death," he said.
French doctors are bound by privacy laws invoked by Arafat's widow Suha which prevent them from releasing details. She could not immediately be reached for comment.
Arafat, 75, was flown from his Ramallah headquarters to Paris on October 29 with stomach pains, diarrhoea and vomiting. He had blood and urine tests that ruled out an initial suspicion of leukemia.
Aides said Arafat died on November 11 after going into a coma and suffering a brain hemorrhage. But they did not say what illness caused this.
"We know what it is not," Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Sha'ath said last Tuesday.
French Health Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said Sunday there was no indication Arafat was poisoned, although he had no access to medical files on the death of the Palestinian leader.
"Nothing in the medical dossier, it seems, has shown that he was poisoned," Douste-Blazy told Radio J. He stressed, however, he had not seen the dossier itself either in his capacity as a doctor or a minister.
But the head of the Palestinian mission in Paris, Leila Shahid, said Saturday that poisoning was a possibility, although there was no evidence.
"It's quite possible that [the Israelis] poisoned him... I cannot say that medically we have proof of that," she told Europe 1 radio.

They probably want to know if any of them are at risk.

The French won't release anything honest. Arafat was not in a coma until he went under anaesthesia for some exploratory procedures. This was pointed out by a Palestinian politician.
Heard reports he died from trauma caused by Chirac humping him in his hospital bed.
Don't ask, Palis. You do NOT really want the truth.
Oh, all these hard choices.
Do they honor their earlier surrender to the dead Rat, or do they surrender anew to the so-called palestinians?
Arafat had AIDS. He was(to his bodyguards) an incurable romantic.
Well, we'll never hear THAT part. They'd rather it be that Israel poisoned him.
I suspect Boooosh!
Well, of course; how could I have forgotten. Thanks for the reminder.
Cooties..the guy was just riddled with em.
i guess we will see how global france really is on this one. will they bow to public pressure, or will they stick to their laws and not release anything?
