The widow of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has said that tests carried out on his body by Swiss scientists have proved that he was poisoned. Arafat's body was exhumed in the West Bank last year to determine the cause of his death in Paris in 2004. His medical records say he had a stroke resulting from a blood disorder. According to the report, also seen by the Guardian and Al-Jazeera, the scientists found unnaturally high levels of radioactive polonium.
