An investigation into the potential poisoning of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat may become reality September 5, 2012 Palestinians on Wednesday welcomed news that a delegation of French judges investigating suspicions that Yasser Arafat was poisoned may travel to the West Bank. “We welcome the visit of the French committee that was formed to look into the late president Arafat’s death,” a statement from Tawfiq Tirawi, head of the Palestinian committee investigating the circumstances of the veteran leader’s death in November 2004, said.
