"Je peux confirmer que nous avons découvert un niveau anormalement élevé de polonium-201 dans les affaires de Yasser Arafat, qui contenaient son matériel biologique", a déclaré le directeur de l'Institut de radiophysique du Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (Lausanne) Francois Bochud cité par la chaîne Al-Jazeera.
Selon les données publiées, l'étude a permis de déceler un niveau élevé de particules radioactives dans le sang, l'urine et la salive de M. Arafat.
Yasser Arafat est décédé le 11 novembre 2004 dans un hôpital militaire en banlieue parisienne. L'enquête portant sur les causes de sa mort a été ouverte en août 2012 sur la requête de la veuve du "raïs", Souha Arafat, suite à la diffusion d'informations sur la découverte de polonium-210 dans des effets personnels du défunt.
Le corps de M. Arafat a été exhumé en novembre 2012. L'Autorité palestinienne a promis de saisir la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) si les prélèvements réalisés sur la dépouille confirment la thèse d'un empoisonnement. Des experts russes, français et suisses sont engagés dans l'expertise.

No new findings over Arafat's death: official...
ReplyDeleteRAMALLAH, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- A Palestinian official dismissed Sunday a British medical journal's report which linked Arafat's death with poisoning.
Tawfi Al-Tirawi, head of a Palestinian committee investigating Arafat's death, told Xinhua that the journal "brought nothing new, " noting it based its study on a 2012 investigative report by the pan-Arab news network Al-Jazeera.
"There are no leaks from the results and we are still waiting for the official test findings," said Al-Tirawi, adding there is no official time set for receiving the results.
British leading medical journal The Lancet published on Saturday a peer review of last year's research by Swiss scientists on Arafat's personal effects, endorsing the possibility that Arafat, the late Palestinian leader, was poisoned with the radioactive element polonium 210.
In 2012, Al-Jazeera's report suggested that Arafat, who died at a French hospital near Paris, was poisoned with polonium 210. Al- Jazeera used a Swiss lab to test Arafat's personal belongings, where traces of polonium were found.
Following the outcry triggered by Al-Jazeera's report, French, Swiss and Russian experts exhumed Arafat's body in November 2012 and took samples for more tests.
