The remains of the arafat will be exhumed

The head of the Palestinian National Administration Mahmoud Abbas ordered the exhumation of the remains of his predecessor Yasir Arafat to clarify the causes of his death. According to RIA Novosti, this was announced by the official representative of the ruling movement Fath Fazi Abu Aet. "At the direction of the abbas, an exhumation will be made. We are ready to cooperate with any side that will contribute to the establishment of the causes of the death of the martyr Yasir Arafat," the agency’s interlocutor said.

On the eve of the Katar television channel Al-Dzhazira, reported that he had a many-month journalistic investigation, the results of which indicate that the Arafat, who died in 2004, could become a victim of Polonia. On the initiative of Al-Jazis, the Swiss Institute of Radio Physics in Lausanne conducted an analysis of the personal belongings of the Arafat, which he used before his death, and found the increased content of Polonia-210 on them. Researchers believe that it could provoke a sharp and not yet explained deterioration in the health status of a 75-year policy.

At the same time, doctors say that they need samples of bones and earth for analyzes from the grave of Arafat. If these tests also show the increased content of Polonia, then it will be possible to say that the Arafat was really poisoned.

Arafat died in December 2004 in a military hospital near Paris. He entered the clinic in serious condition. There was no reliable information about the causes of death, which gave rise to rumors about poisoning. The version was expressed that he died of AIDS, this was said by the leader of the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine Ahmet Djibril. According to him, French doctors established this reason. Immediately after the death of Arafat, it was reported that he was infected with AIDS as a result of homosexual contacts. Among other versions, poisoning or infection were called.

The first fact of using Poloniy-210 for the murder took place in 2006, when the former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko died. He died on November 23, 2006 in the hospital of the University College of London. After his death, the specialists of the British Health Protection Agency said that they discovered a significant amount of polonium-210 in the Litvinenko body. Litvinenko left for the UK in 2000 in the UK, six years later received British citizenship.

The main suspect in the Litvinenko case is a former FSB officer, and now the State Duma deputy Andrei Lugova. The Royal Prosecutorial Service of Great Britain said that she had enough evidence to charge him of the murder of Litvinenko.
