Killing Arafat l Al Jazeera Investigations
A world exclusive investigation tells the inside story of the fight for the facts behind Yasser Arafat's death.
Following What killed Arafat? which led French prosecutors to open a murder inquiry, this documentary follows the struggle to convince the Palestinian Authority to allow an exhumation of Arafat’s body to test for radioactive poison.
Al Jazeera’s Clayton Swisher reports on the tests that led to the Swiss scientists reporting high levels of polonium Yasser Arafat's bones.

The fact the PA neglected to get an autopsy is absolutely criminal
Hats off to Clayton Swisher and the whole Al Jazeera English team. Investigating this matter was very sensitive, its good that you came up to the conclusion with no one loosing his/her life along the way.
My heart goes out to Yasser Arafat's family. Long live Aljazeera for the good work.

Remember Arafats reaction on the day of 911? He was moved to tears, he was absolutely shocked by the atrocity. Then remember Netenyahu's reaction? He said 911 is very good for Israel. No empathy, no shock, nothing but how good it was for Israel. Interesting eh, especially considering US media was saying the Palestinians were celebrating, which was a total lie. The only people celebrating were the 5 dancing Israeli's who filmed the whole attack

@Antipodean33 ...Well...Attack... let's call it with its right term: controlled demolition !
I had seen only the first video years ago and being a doctor I knew it was poisoning. The reason why I thought it was poisoning because either bad infections or bad cancer or other health conditions could cause symptoms what yasser arafat had. Plus the timing of his symptoms in context of negative all other tests points to poisoning as being very likely. Hat off to aljazeera and the journalist who carried this out after such a very long time. Plus it also shows how palestinian authorities handled the situation, very poorly. Truth must be revealed.

Women don't get divorced in Islam. They get murdered by their husband. It's not even shameful, it's a matter of honor in Arab culture to murder one's wife. And when they murder the wife, they still have three more wives at home. Very common in Arab society. Keep your Islamic Taqqiya lies to yourself.

Suha is one of the bravest women I have seen. I hope Zawa will take this from her mother.
