Source: Chirac is withholding information on death of Arafat
"Chirac has deliberately kept his information secret in order to protect Palestinian interests," Bassam Abu Sharief, Arafat's media advisor, told a news conference in Ramallah.
The Palestinian leader died in a French hospital in 2004 after months of an undisclosed illness believed to be the result of poison.
Believed by whom? What's wrong with Haaretz? (rhetorical) This is a DPA (German news source) report, but it's Haaretz who's supposed to edit.
Abu Sharief accused Israel of killing Arafat by a poison that stops the production of red blood cells. Arafat's three doctors also knew how Arafat died and the sort of poison used, he said.
He refused to give more details which he said "would be helpful to arrest the criminal in the future."
After winning the 2006 parliamentary elections, the Islamic Hamas movement has demanded the file of its rival Fatah chief's death be opened for investigation.
I suspect Hamas knows the truth.
