Arafat Death Probe Inconclusive

Arafat death probe 'inconclusive'
A Palestinian ministerial inquiry into the death of former leader Yasser Arafat has proved inconclusive, said Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei.
Mr Qurei said that the inquiry found that French and Palestinian doctors could not identify the disease that killed Mr Arafat.
The former Palestinian leader's death was not caused by germs, cancer, poisoning or Aids, said Mr Qurei.
Yasser Arafat died on 11 November 2004 at a French military hospital.
But Mr Qurei added that file on Yasser Arafat's death would not be closed as "there could be medical developments in the future that could determine the cause of his death."
Conflicting reports
Speculation on the cause of Mr Arafat's death has continued in the media with many Palestinians believing that he was poisoned by Israel.
The Israeli government has repeatedly denied any involvement in his death.
The Palestinian leader's wife, Suha, refused to allow an autopsy.
A report published by the New York Times newspaper last month said that Mr Arafat's medical records showed that he died from stroke that stemmed from an unknown condition.
But a book by two Israeli journalists claimed that Mr Arafat's death could have been the result of an infection, Aids or poisoning.

It is fucking obvious that Sharon poisoned him. He even said he was gonna assassinate Arafat shortly before he became sick. You gotta be a moron to not investigate into this shit. It's not even a question for me.

israel do some fucked up things man. has anyone seen the 'death in gazaa' documentary? basically it was shot a couple of years ago and these british journalists they were following around some children who lived in gazaa, unfortunatly it was cut short when the crew were leaving the a house of one of the children to go somewhere safer, there was an israeli APV outside but not there had been no activity all night (ie aggression on either side) they decided the best approach was to annonce they were leaving so the had a torch and pointed at a white flag they were waving and started to approach the vehicle stating they were british journalists and they were going to leave, a shot was fired they stood still thinking it was a warning shot, then like 13 seconds later another shot was fired which hit the cameraman james miller in the neck killing him instantly and all this was all caught on film by a local palestinian cameraman. israel has done fuck all about it, at first they denied it, then they said he was caught up in the cross fire with the palestinians (there wasn't any), the guilty soldeir was an israeli arab who admited to doing it but had changed his story 3 times! the israeli army has said he was operating in difficult conditions and acted appropriately and he has not even been disciplined!!!! how fucked up is that? if they let their soldiers kill a white flag waving british journalist with repercussion when the british governemnt is pressuring them for action, just think about how they act with ordinary palestinians who don't have the same political clout as we do.
one good thing did come of it one of the boys in the film who was 11 was working for the militants and wanted to be a matyr, but james miller had touch him so much he has changed his mind and stopped working for the militants and wants to be a cameraman now...
