Samples Taken from Arafat’s Body in Probe over Palestinian Leader’s Death 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Experts have taken samples from the body of former Palestinian president
Yasser Arafat as part of an international probe to determine whether he
was poisoned to death. Earlier this year, an investigation found traces
of the radioactive material polonium on Arafat’s clothing. Arafat died
in 2004 after being flown to France for medical treatment.
