"Whether true or not, the idea that Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader who died rather mysteriously in 2004, had been deliberately poisoned continues to fascinate people. It's one of those stories that just won't go away – like the "murder" of Princess Diana and the various Kennedy assassination
plots." Setting aside what Qaddumi said, I don't think that the theory of Arafat's murder are as kooky as theories about Diana and Kennedy. It is a different matter altogether. (thanks Olivia)
