A Russian probe into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has found that his death wasn't caused by radiation — a finding that comes after a French probe found traces of the radioactive isotope polonium and a Swiss investigation said the timeframe of his illness and death was consistent with that of polonium poisoning.
Vladimir Uiba, the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, said Thursday that Arafat died of natural causes and the agency had no plans to conduct further tests.

Yes. Israel is stupid really not to be sending as many of these islamonazis straight to hell “Allah “ or whatever ASAP. They should have one Arafat years before he finally died. Years. Could have saved countless innocent lives
Doesn’t Arafat share some sort of prize with another low life I am thinking of???
Rabies?
Arafat was a terrorist. Who cares how he died.
The French as usual are full of crap. Po 210 is extremely toxic, with one microgram being enough to kill the average adult.
Arafat died in 2004. His body was exhumed in 2012. 8 years.
Po 210 has a half life of 138 days which calculates to 21 half lives having passed between Arafat’s death and any search of Polonium in or on his body. Half life is a geometric reduction of the amount of the isotope present. Every 138 days there would be half as much Po 210 present as there was. (1/2, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and so on for 21 times) and when you are talking about a tiny amount to begin with you see there is essentially nothing left detectable.
So unless Arafat’s body was saturated with Polonium at the time of death Polonium would be undetectable by the time of his exhumation and probably not even then.
The only possible clue to Polonium poisoning at that point would be to detect Lead 206 a stable isotope of lead to which Polonium 210 decays which I can only guess that would involve burning his cloths to ash and subjecting the ash to neutron flux then looking for evidence of Lead 209.
But in all reality I doubt that it would be possible to poison Arafat with Po 210 with out a few people close to him also being poisoned.
He was a raging pedophile. The Bulgarians or Romanians had a bunch of stuff on him.
he has something- he was unable to speak, ncoherent and tried to bite the hands of people holding him- he was really out of it
Thanks Lavaroise. I appreciate the mention.
Agreed...
