    it's probable that it was israel. they have few scruples about murdering political opponents and polonium doesn't exactly grow on trees.

      2004...Bush and the anti terrorist U.S. gov't

      Arafat...declared terrorist

      Arafat...strong supporter of Iraq

      Arafat...seen by U.S. as impediment to Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

      just sayin'.........

        The only ones known to have used polonium for wet operations is Russia, so Russia's SSB or more likely a client security service like Syria would have to be high on the list.

          "political opponents"

          This man was a military opponent more than a political opponent...

            And Hamas' overall leadership used to be based in Syria.

              The Bush admin couldn't do anything right. I doubt they could accomplish that.

                The US would not have offed him with polonium.

                  The Israeli's are way too smart to use something traceable and although they had a lot grudges and offed a lot of radical PLO leaders, those directly involved in terrorism, I can't see what they had to gain. Arafat was a moderate in his later years, someone Israel could work with and who could carry other Palestinians. Famously an Israeli sniper had a headshot sight picture on Arafat when he fled Beirut but the shot was turned down by Tel Aviv.

                  Syria is plausible.

                    I suppose that makes more sense.

                    Yeah the Israelis assassinate plenty of people...but it's in the same manner that we do, killing leaders of their enemies, usually via missile through the roof of a car/window of a building. Not really "political."

                            Jerusalem is not generally recognized as the Israeli capital.
