Swiss Scientists Believe Arafat Poisoned by Polonium

Swiss scientists gave evidence for the death of Yasser Arafat, Palestinian leader. They said level of polonium-210 was found in the personal effects and body tissues of the leader, which illustrates he died of polonium poisoning.

Al Jazeera is the first channel to report the findings, which were released by the University Center of Legal Medicine of Lausanne. But, this personality did not address that Arafat died of intake of poison or there was some other reason behind his death.

After the complete investigation report, the whole mystery was sorted out. It was then revealed that the radioactive isotope polonium-210 has been found on some of his personal belongings. The Swiss center said that the polonium was found in large quantities in the belongings of Arafat, after the last year's exhumation was revealed in 2012.

These new findings by the Swiss scientists may raise some of the controversial allegations over the death of the most prominent face of Palestinian. The Palestinian Authority, owner of the West Bank, blames Israel to be held responsible for the poisoning of Arafat death.

Wasel Abu Yousef, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said: "I believe that all fingers are pointed at the Israeli occupation, who has experience in such cases of poisoning".
