Russia: Arafat's death not caused by radiation

A Russian probe into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has
found no trace of radioactive poisoning, the chief of the government
agency that conducted the study said on Thursday.

Vladimir Uiba, the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency,
said the agency had no plans to conduct further tests.

"It was a natural death; there was no impact of radiation," Mr. Uiba
said, according to Russian news agencies.

Teams of scientists from France, Switzerland and Russia were asked to
determine whether polonium, a rare and extremely lethal substance,
played a role in Mr. Arafat's death in a French military hospital in
2004.

After a 2012 report which said traces of radioactive polonium were
found on Mr. Arafat's clothing, his widow Suha Arafat filed a legal
complaint in France seeking an investigation into whether he was
murdered.

As part of that probe, French investigators had Mr. Arafat's remains
exhumed and ordered a series of tests on them. They ruled out
poisoning, while a Swiss report said high levels of radioactive
polonium indicated third party involvement in Mr. Arafat's death.

Palestinian Ambassador to Russia, Fayed Mustafa, was quoted by state
RIA Novosti news agency as saying Thursday that the Palestinian
authorities respect the Russian experts' conclusions but consider it
necessary to continue research into Mr. Arafat's death.
