Russian report: Evidence does not prove Arafat poisoning

A Russian report quoted by Palestinian investigators on Friday said there was insufficient evidence to support the theory that Yasser Arafat died in 2004 by polonium poisoning.

The findings were far weaker than those of a Swiss laboratory announced with fanfare on Wednesday by Arafat's widow and Qatar-based al-Jazeera television.

After all, Polonium is a very special poison and the Russian government makes damn near all of it. Things I want to know now? Who told Suha to look for Polonium? Who prepared the meal he ate right before he got sick? Who ate it with him?

Who did Russia want to reward or cozy up to? In 2004? Who profited? Aside from Israel and Abbass, who were both Russia's good pals in 2004.

on edit: And I didn't even mention the Palestinian money disappearing into Arafat's private accounts.
