Media PARIS—Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's wife says Swiss forensic tests show
that Arafat was poisoned to death in 2004 with radioactive polonium.

Ramallah last year to remove samples of his body to test for alleged
poisoning.

longtime leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization had many
enemies.
French officials opened an investigation into Arafat's death in 2012.Arafat, who was 75 when he died, claimed to have survived 40 attempts on his life.
