Body of Yasser Arafat Exhumed for Poison Tests

The search for what actually led to the death of the former Palestine Liberation Organisation leader, Yasser Arafat has led to his body being exhumed for tests to see if his 2004 death was as a result of poisoning.
The tests will hopefully clear some doubts whether Arafat's death eight years ago was as a result of poisoning by the radioactive element polonium. The Palestinian authorities insist that Israel is behind any poisoning of Yasser Arafat. The Israeli authorities on the other hand has refused comments on the allegation.
Forensic experts from Russia, France and Switzerland took their own samples for independent analysis.
The new investigation into the death of Arafat started earlier this year after Palestinian authorites said high levels of the radioactive substance, polonium were found on Arafat's personal belongings.
