Arafat’s death in question
French prosecutors have opened a murder inquiry into Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s who passed away in 2004, after his widow and his daughter filed a murder complaint on July 31st in Paris.         

Widow and daughter claim that the veteran Palestinian leader died of radioactive polonium poisoning, as AFP stated.         

Arafat, who led the struggle for Palestinian statehood for nearly four decades, died in a French military hospital near Paris in 2004.         

At the time of his death, Palestinian officials alleged he had been poisoned by long-time foe Israel, but an inconclusive Palestinian investigation in 2005 ruled out poisoning, as well as cancer and AIDS.        

Israel has consistently denied the allegations, accusing Suha Arafat and Palestinian officials of covering up the real reasons for the former leader’s death, AFP said.
