who's the likely suspect?
http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/04/world/meast/switzerland-arafat-polonium/index.html The widow of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said Wednesday she wants his body exhumed to find out whether he was poisoned after tests showed high levels of a radioactive substance on some of his personal belongings. Suha Arafat told CNN she is requesting the body be exhumed "to make sure 100% of the existence of polonium." |

It means that Israel knocked him off, and that means they killed Fatah and paved the way for the rise of Hamas.
The reason they would do that is because Fatah was willing to negotiate, and that put Israel in a bad position. |

| I'm sure Arafat had his share of enemies among Palestinians but it seems likely that Israel would have the technology to use polonium. But if Israel did it, how did they get access to Arafat? Just speculation on my part though - I don't know much about this. It will be interesting to see what happens. |

| Arafat's many enemies have shown repeatedly how they kill political opponents. Spycraft is not their thing. Also, taking credit IS their thing. There is only one nation that would want to hide its tracks. Well two, except I don't think GWB would have done it. |

No. Israel is the only country to do fucked up shit like this because conflict in the ME is in their best interest. |

| Why would the US get involved? One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. |

Am I missing something, or did you mean Rip van Winkle? I don;t mean to be snarky, just wondering whether my folklore has a gap. |

Times have changed Nobody is going to hand out billions toward them anymore and if the palestinians suffer too much, then they loose world sympathy So they have to keep it at a tit-for-tat level so that both parties manage to be victims. We live in interesting times |
