French Prosecutor Requests Dropping Arafat Death Probe

A French prosecutor has said there was no case to answer regarding the death of former Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat in 2004.

 The request to drop the probe into the leader's death on Tuesday comes two years after French investigators said the level of polonium 210 in Arafat's body was the result of naturally occurring processes involving radon gas, not deliberate poisoning.
