A nine-month investigation suggests Yasser Arafat may have been poisoned with polonium, Al-Jazeera reported.

Tests conducted at Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland, have revealed that Arafat's last personal belongings -- his clothes, his toothbrush and even his iconic kaffiyeh -- contained abnormal levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element.

And the late Palestinian leader's blood, sweat, saliva and urine showed traces as well, which means there his body contained a high level of polonium when he died.

据卡塔尔半岛电视台报道，为期9个月的调查显示，亚西尔·阿拉法特或许是死于钋中毒。

在瑞士洛桑放射物理研究所的试验显示，阿拉法特的衣物、牙刷、甚至代表性的头巾等个人物品中，均含有超常剂量的钋。钋是一种罕见且有高度放射性的元素。

此外，这名已逝巴勒斯坦前领导人的血液、汗液、唾液和尿液也显示钋痕迹。也就是说，他死亡的时候，体内的钋含量很高。
