On: Swiss forensic report on Arafat's death

[MrZongle2]

I think this is a very good point. Of all the actors who would interact with Arafat, what motivated one of them to (presumably) kill him in Summer/Fall 2004?

Also curious: why did his wife refuse to permit an autopsy?

Islam has fairly strict burial customs, and many Islamic clerics have outlawed autopsies. It isn't a universal belief, but likely figured into the equation...
