NANTERRE , France, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- French prosecutors closed an investigation into claims Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was murdered by a lethal dose of radioactive polonium.
Arafat died in Paris in 2004 of a stroke after a serious blood disorder was diagnosed, but his widow requested the opening of a murder case in 2012. She said traces of polonium-210 were found on his belongings during an investigation by Swiss analysts and the Al Jazeera news network.
