RAMALLAH -- The body of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will be exhumed on Tuesday, eight years after his death, in an investigation to establish if he was murdered, a Palestinian official said on Saturday. Palestinian Authority via ReutersThen Palestinian President Yasser Arafat sits surrounded by doctors in his office in the West Bank City of Ramallah on Oct. 28, 2004. A French court opened a murder inquiry in August into Arafat's death in Paris after a Swiss institute said it had discovered high levels of radioactive polonium on his clothing, which was supplied by his widow, Suha. Tawfiq al-Tirawi, who is in charge of the Palestinian committee overseeing the investigation, told reporters in Ramallah on Saturday that "it is a painful necessity" to exhume the body of Arafat, who came to symbolize the Palestinian quest for statehood throughout decades of war and peace with Israel.
