As you’ll recall, Yasser Arafat died in a Paris hospital in 2004 from a “mystery illness.” The theories at the time were that he was killed at the hands of Israeli spy agency Mossad. That he contracted cancer, cirrhosis, or even HIV, were other theories also thrown around.
A new investigation has now revealed that a urine stain on Arafat’s underwear had traces of Polonium-210 – a highly radioactive substance. The tests were carried out by the Institute de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland. Results registered a level of 180 millibecquerels of Polonium-210, more than 20 times the dose of that needed to kill the average human being!
Arafat’s widow, Suha, has called for her late husband’s body to be exhumed after the Al Jazeera investigation found the polonium traces on clothes he wore in his final days.
