JMushi1,

Sijui ulikuwa ukifuatilia News zipi. Ila huko USA, huwa mnabaniwa sana News. Ndiyo maana mie husoma news za nchi tofauti na hapo unapata ukweli wa upande wa pili.

Izrael walikuwa siku zote wakiogopa HAMASI wataingia madarakani muda wowote. Hamasi walikuwa wakimuheshimu sana Arafat na kwa sababu wote walikuwa wakipata misaada kutoka Lebanon na hata Arafat alishakaa sana Lebanon, alikuwa ni mtu pekee wanayemfahamu kwa ukaribu.

Hamasi walikuwa wakisubiri tu Arafat afe na wao waje wachukue nchi. Hawa jamaa hata uchaguzi walishinda ila UN wakachakachua matokeo. Mtu pekee alifanya Hamasi wasiamke wakati huo alikuwa ni ARAFAT. Kifo cha Arafat kiliwapa Green light Hamasi na washirika wao na moto ukaanza. Hawa jamaa huwa wanasumbua sana na wana kichwa kigumu kama Hesbollah.

Kumdhalilisha kote Arafat ilikuwa ni kumuonyesha Ubabe na kuwa wanaweza. Kifo chake kingelifanya jamaa apande chat ila kuishi kwake huku akiwa HOI, kulimfanya apoteze sana nguvu. Ila jamaa hawakujua kuwa Hamasi ndiyo walianza kujijenga kwa nguvu kipindi cha baadaye,

Mkuu Sikonge, mimi nilikuwa nasoma na kutizama mkuu.
Nyakati zile, suicide bombings hazikuwa popular sana kwasababu vita ya Iraki wala Afghanistan ilikuwa bado.Fatah nao ya Arafat, ilikuwa na wing ya suicide bombers kama ilivyo Hamas.Ila Arafat alikuwa akidai hawezi kuwa control, na suicide bombing ilikuwa ndo kama trick yao ya kuwalazimisha Israel warudi kwenye meza ya majadiliano.

Hata ile siku ya 911, wapalestina walishangilia sana na kwenye TV ikaonekana, Arafat ndo akatoa kauli kuwa nao wanasikitika na shambulizi lile, lakini damage tayari ikawa kubwa, na Bushi ndo kuanzia hapo akawa na kisasi naye zaidi...

Bush na Sharon, waliitumia sababu hiyo kumkataa Arafat, wakisema amalize kwanza issue za suicide bombers ndo arudi mezani,then baadae wakasema tayari mikono yake ina damu na hafai tena kwenye negotiations.

Kama yule babu wa Hamas,YULE MLEMAVU AMBAYE WALIMPIGA BOMU,akiitwa Hamad kama sikosei, ndo alikuwa akiweka wazi kabisa kuwa suicide bombing ndo solution.Arafat yeye hakuweka wazi hivyo, lakini Fatah nao bado walikuwa waki claim baadhi ya hizo suicide bombings, na wakati mwingine wakisema siyo wao...Hilo la suicide bombings kuendelea na huku mazungumzo kuendelea at the same time ndo walilokataa kina Bush na Sharon.

Scientists have completed final preparations to exhume the body of Yasser Arafat, whose tomb will be opened on Tuesday to test for radioactive polonium.

Three teams of international investigators traveled on Monday to the muqat’aa, the Palestinian Authority headquarters, where Arafat is buried. They could be seen bringing equipment to the site throughout the day.
A nine-month investigation, the results of which were broadcast earlier this year, found elevated levels of polonium on Arafat’s final personal effects, raising new questions about what killed the longtime Palestinian leader.
French legal experts have also begun to gather evidence on the case in preparation for a possible trial, including testimony from people in the West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.
The teams are operating under a near-media blackout imposed by the Palestinian Authority, which had promised a transparent and open investigation. None of the investigators contacted over the past few days were willing to speak on the record.
And late on Monday, the PA said it would not allow lawyers representing Arafat’s widow, Suha, to attend the exhumation, without offering any reason for its decision.
The exhumation will begin early on Tuesday, when workers with hand tools will begin to drill through more than four meters of concrete over Arafat’s body. Investigators will collect several samples on the way down to took at polonium levels.
The whole process will take about ten hours, and Arafat will be reinterred in a military ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, according to Tawfiq al-Tirawi, the head of the Palestinian committee investigating Arafat’s death.
French, Swiss and Russian scientists
The French team includes three scientists – a toxicologist, a pathologist, and a generalist who works on legal medicine. The Swiss team, from the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, conducted the forensic analysis in the initial investigation.
The Palestinian Authority also asked experts from Russia to conduct their own independent analysis. “One of them is from an organization dealing with judicial medical experts, and the others are specialists connected to radiation,” a source familiar with the Russian team said.
Only a handful of officials from the Palestinian Authority and Fatah will be on hand for the exhumation. Arafat’s family will not be present, according to Palestinian officials.
Al Jazeera Investigates - What Killed Arafat?​
It’s unclear what condition Arafat’s body will be in eight years after his death. Samples collected from bones and organs offer the best chance of finding evidence of polonium.
Al Jazeera’s investigation studied the items Arafat had with him when he died: his comb, his toothbrush, even his iconic kaffiyeh, all of which were variously stained with his blood, sweat, saliva and urine. The items were provided by Arafat’s widow, Suha.
His belongings were analysed by the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland, which discovered high levels of polonium-210. Further tests found that most of the polonium was “unsupported,” which means that it did not come from natural sources.
But, even if it is present on Arafat’s body, very little of the radioactive element will remain at this point. Polonium-210, the isotope found on Arafat’s personal effects, has a half-life of 138 days, meaning that half of the substance will decay every four-and-a-half months. Scientists say that eight years is about the limit for recovering a useful sample, and a longer delay would have made it impossible to recover a workable sample.
‘Certain people in certain positions’
It will take months for the scientists to finish analysing the samples they collect. Researchers will have to wait through at least one half-life to study the decay in their samples: Natural polonium replenishes itself after decaying, while unsupported polonium does not.
Once they finish their work, the French courts will determine how to proceed. Arafat died in a French military hospital, giving the French legal system jurisdiction over the case.
Suha Arafat asked a French court to open a murder investigation earlier this year, and the court granted that request in August. A team of French judges has already begun collecting Arafat’s medical records and other evidence.
The group interviewed Arafat’s widow, Suha, earlier this month. Tirawi also said that the investigators have gathered testimony in the West Bank from “certain people, in certain positions,” but declined to offer any detail about their identities.
The French team has refused to speak to the press, and a team of Palestinian and French security agents prevented reporters from approaching them in their hotel. Even members of the Swiss team, which worked with Al Jazeera on the initial investigation earlier this year, were unwilling to comment on the exhumation, citing restrictions from the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian security officers have tailed Al Jazeera reporters in cars and on foot, and at one point broke into the network’s hotel rooms.
“They publicly praise Al Jazeera for the investigative breakthrough that breathed life into what was otherwise a very cold case, while at the same time they chase us around Ramallah to keep us from doing our jobs,” said Al Jazeera’s Clayton Swisher, who produced the investigation.
 
Yasser Arafat: has been exhumed but he is not the only person,there are others well known people who have been exhumed
1.Marie Curie
The ashes of Marie Curie and her husband Pierre were moved in 1995 from a small cemetery to the Pantheon in Paris. This was done in order to honour her life and work. The Polish-born scientist won two Nobel prizes and did ground-breaking work on radiation. She died from leukaemia in 1934 (caused by exposure to radiation)
2.Che Guevara,
The Argentine-born Cuban revolutionary leader was captured and shot in Bolivia in 1967. For years the exact location of his body was kept secret, then in 1995 it was revealed by a Bolivian general involved in the operation that he had been buried by an airport runway, near the site where he was killed. Two years later, his body was exhumed and returned to Cuba in time for the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of his death. It now lies in a mausoleum and museum to Guevara, which is open to visitors. Some question marks have been raised, however, as to whether the correct body was exhumed in 1997.
3.Haile Selassie
Haile Selassie buried in 2000
Ethiopia's last emperor was exhumed after being discovered buried under a toilet in Addis Ababa's Imperial Palace, in 1992. Selassie ruled Ethiopia for 45 years and was regarded as a living god by Rastafarians. He was overthrown in a coup led by the dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1974, and held captive for a year in the palace, before he died. It is thought he may have been murdered by his captors. In 2000, more than 25 years after his death, he was reburied in Addis Ababa's Trinity Cathedral.
4.Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus asked in his will to be buried in America, but no suitable church existed there at his death in 1506, so he was buried initially in the Spanish city of Valladolid, then moved to a monastery in Seville. In 1542, however, the body was removed and sent to Hispaniola, where it was buried in Santo Domingo (now the capital of the Dominican Republic). At the end of the 17th Century, Spain ceded the western part of Hispaniola to France, so Columbus' body was taken to Cuba. Then, when Cuba became independent, in 1898, the body crossed the Atlantic for a final time, and the body was buried in the Cathedral of Seville. At least, that is the established theory. There is, however, a box containing bones, inscribed with the name "Christopher Columbus" at a Columbus monument in the Dominican capital... Researchers who took DNA samples from the Seville body say it matches the DNA of Columbus' brother Diego, also buried near Seville. The remains in Santo Domingo have never been released for testing
 
I suspect the Mossad to responsible for the poisoning of Arafat but this is just my personal opinion

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died in 2004, but the cause of death has yet to be determined. Samples were taken from Arafat's corpse on Tuesday; investigators hope to determine whether he was poisoned by spring 2013.

Forensic experts took samples from Yasser Arafat's corpse in the West Bank on Tuesday, trying to determine if he was murdered with the hard-to-trace radioactive poison, polonium.

Palestinians witnessed the funeral of their hero and longtime leader eight years ago, but conspiracy theories surrounding his death have never been laid to rest.

Many are convinced their icon was the victim of assassination by Israeli agents, and may have been poisoned wittingly or unwittingly by a Palestinian. They may remain convinced of that, whatever the outcome of this autopsy.

Arafat's body was uncovered in the grave and samples removed without moving the corpse. The tomb was resealed in hours and wreaths placed by Palestinian leaders including Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

The head of the Palestinian investigation committee, Tawfiq Tirawi, said the procedure went smoothly. A Palestinian medical team took samples and gave them to each of the Swiss, French and Russian forensic teams.

"We need proof in order to find those who are behind this assassination and take it to the ICC (International Criminal Court)," he said.

"Israel is occupying our land, and assassinations are not new, they have committed several, publicly and secretly ... what's to stop them from assassinating Abu Ammar (Arafat)?"

French magistrates in August opened a murder inquiry into Arafat's death in Paris in 2004, after a Swiss institute said it had discovered high levels of polonium on clothing of his which was supplied by his widow, Suha, for a television documentary.

"The state of the body was exactly what you would expect to find for someone who has been buried for eight years," Health Minister Hani Abdeen told a news conference. "There was nothing out of the ordinary."

Results in spring 2013
Jordanian doctor Abdullah al Bashir, head of the Palestinian medical committee, said about 20 samples were taken and analysis would take at least three months.

"In order to do these analyses, to check, cross-check and double cross-check, it will take several months and I don't think we'll have anything tangible available before March or April next year," said Darcy Christen, spokesman for Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland that carried out the original tests on Arafat's clothes.

Arafat was always a freedom fighter to Palestinians but a terrorist to Israelis first, and a partner for peace only later. He led the bid for a Palestinian state through years of war and peacemaking, then died in a French hospital aged 75 after a short, mysterious illness.

No autopsy was carried out at the time, at the request of Suha, and French doctors who treated him said they were unable to determine the cause of death.

But allegations of foul play surfaced immediately. Arafat had enemies among his own people, but many Palestinians pointed the finger at Israel, which confined the leader to his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah for the final two and a half years of his life, after a Palestinian uprising erupted.

Israel denies killing him. Its leader at the time, Ariel Sharon, now lies in a coma from which he is expected never to awake. Israel invited the Palestinian leadership to release all Arafat's medical records, which were never made public following his death and still have not been opened.

Polonium, apparently ingested with food, was found to have caused the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. But some experts have questioned whether Arafat could have died in this way, pointing to a brief recovery during his illness that they said was not consistent with radioactive poisoning. They also noted he did not lose all his hair.

Eight years is considered the limit to detect any traces of the fast-decaying polonium and Lausanne hospital questioned in August if it would be worth seeking any samples, if access to Arafat's body was delayed as late as "October or November."

Not all of Arafat's family agreed to the exhumation. Arafat's widow watched on television from her house in Malta.

"This will bring closure, we will know the truth about why he died. I owe this answer to the Palestinian people, to the new generation, and to his daughter," a tearful Suha told timesofmalta.com.

Hii itaongeza hostility zaidi, wangeacha tu huo uchunguzi na kuangalia ya mbele zaidi!
 
Kulingana na taarifa ya habari BBC, Yasser Arafat inaelekea aliuwawa na radio active substance ambayo ilikuwa na Polonium 210.

Polonium 210 ni aina ya sumu ambayo ni radio active na husababisha kansa za kila aina.
Huko Uswisi sample za mwili wa Arafat pamoja na udongo uliozunguka kaburi lake vilikutwa na chembe chembe za sumu hiyo ya Polonium 210.

Mtuhumiwa nambari wani wa kumwekea sumu hiyo ni Idara za Ujasusi ya Israel, Shin Bet na Mossad.
 
Dunia ingekuwa na usalama kama kungekuwa hakuna taifa la kiyahudi, watu walio laniwa na Mungu sidhani kama unaweza kuishi nao kwa amani. Arafat alifanya kosa sana ku sign nao peace.

Katika dunia nzima nchi inayo pinga vitendio vya UN ni Israel peke yake.

Katika dunia zima taifa lilouwa Mitume wa mwenyezi Mungu ni Israel peke yake, vipi lishindwe kuwauwa viongozi kama kina Arafat. Mungu hajakosea aliposema msiwafanye mayahudi na manasara kuwa marafiki zenu hao hawana rafiki.

extremely cautious"




[h=2]Yasser Arafat's remains exhumed[/h]

The late Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat may have been poisoned with radioactive polonium, says a Swiss forensic
report obtained by al-Jazeera.

Arafat's official medical records say he died in 2004 from a stroke resulting
from a blood disorder.

But his body was exhumed last year amid continuing claims he was
murdered.

The
Swiss report said tests on the body showed "unexpected high activity" of
polonium, which "moderately" supported the poisoning theory.

Vita vyote anavyo pigana USA kuwapiga mataifa ya Kislam sababu ni Israel, lakini USA iko njiani kuanguka, sababu hakuna taifa litakalo weza kuwashinda waislam.

Hivi kwani kuna Taifa linalopigania kuwashinda waislamu Duniani,kwa lipi hasa hili Taifa lifanye masuala hayo kwa Waislamu,waislamu wamefanya nini zaidi hadi hili Taifa litake kupambana nao??
