Re: Test Arafat for poisoning: Abbas to Swiss experts

I am NOT a doctor. I do NOT have inside knowledge. I do NOT like conspiracy theories.

But I remember my Godfather whom I visited five months before his end. And then saw the same kind of body movements of Mr Abdel-Rauf el-Qudwa (nom-de-guerre Yassir Arafat) and it was the same. To me simply Parkinsons Disease . That Israelis speak about AIDS and Palestinians about poisoning and that the "official" thing speaks about heart etc is not surprising

Re: Test Arafat for poisoning: Abbas to Swiss experts

The Swiss found traces of Polonium on his clothes: this looks like a good reason to dig him up and test his body. Arafat was not liked by many people, including several Arab countries, so let's keep an open mind on this one.

And on the previous assassination in London,

Traces of the radioactive substance Polonium have since been discovered at various locations in London visited by Mr Litvinenko as well as in Russia and on two British Airways flights.

True. Among his adversaries were Israel most of all, but also Syria. And Syria was, via el-Saika, directly INSIDE the PLO. el-Saika, just like el-Fatah, the PFLP, the PDFLP and the PLA is one of the members of the PLO. But el-Saika is dominated by the Syrian Mukhaberat. The relations of Arafat with General Mubarak were always quite good and those with King Hussein bin Talal, once on below zero, over the years had gradually improved. So that to me, IF there was a poisoning action it was either Israel or Syria.

Could be the Palestinians as well, he stole huge amounts of money from the Palestinian Authority and there was/still is huge corruption within these organisations and it is rumoured he had made off with around $1.3 billion.

Yassir Arafat financed the el-Fatah out of his private family enterprise. The PLO is just the umbrella organisation of most Palestinian organisations with the exception of Hamas. But I do not believe that somebody inside elFatah or somebody of the rival organisations inside the PLO or Hamas did it. The sort of stuff hints to somebody out of the high-tech people
