Arafat to be exhumed

Investigators from France will exhume Yasser Arafats remains next month to try to find out how the Palestinian leader died,a French official said on Tuesday. The official said a team from France will arrive here sometime between November 24 and 26.

Palestinian authorities confirmed the timetable and said a Swiss investigative team would also arrive in Ramallah at the same time. The push to re-examine circumstances surrounding Arafats death came after a Swiss lab discovered traces of Polonium-210,a radioactive isotope,on clothes said to be his. The discovery revived suspicions of poisoning.
