    \u201cWe operated against Ahmed Yassin and Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi [two Palestinian leaders extrajudicially assassinated by Israel] when we thought the time was suitable. On the matter of Arafat we\u2019ll operate in the same way, when we find the convenient and suitable time. One needs to find the time and to do what has to be done.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>  ~ Israeli Prime Minister Sharon to Ma\u2019ariv newspaper, Source: The Guardian  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yasser Arafat may be dead, but for all intents and purposes he lives on and continues to be a thorn in Israel\u2019s side. Earlier this month a Swiss doctor announced that high levels of toxic polonium-210 were found on some of Arafat\u2019s belongings. Polonium-210 is a highly radioactive substance, one that would require a nuclear reactor and expertise to produce and handle. Israel, being a nuclear power and having publicly expressed a motive for Arafat\u2019s \u201celimination,\u201d fits the description.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
