Yasser Arafat’s body to be exhumed for examination on radioactive poisoning

President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas ordered exhumation of former leader Yasser Arafat to examine his body for polonium, Interfax reports.

Scientists of the Institute for Radio Physics in Lausanne studied Arafat’s items and discovered high concentration of polonium-210. Director of the institute Francois Boshud confirmed the information.

Suha Arafat, Yasser’s wife, demanded exhumation before polonium dissolves.
