    “Too Early to Say if Arafat was Poisoned”

    Darcy Christian, spokesman of the Swiss research institute that discovered polonium on the personal affects of Yasser Arafat says it is too early to determine whether Arafat was poisoned or not.

    “We were very surprised to discover so much polonium 210. Our first reaction was to repeat the search. After 3 months we came up with the same findings. Polonium 210 does not come from a natural source

    “It is possible that the substance was placed after Arafat’s death. You cannot buy polonium in a store, but we are not asserting he was poisoned.” Christian spoke to Israel Army Radio.
