Studies by Swiss scientists have discovered levels of polonium at least 18 times higher than normal in Yasser Arafat's ribs, pelvis and in soil that absorbed his remains.

They say their data is compatible with the theory that the Palestinian leader was poisoned with the radioactive element at a level up to 83 per cent.

A leading forensic scientist now say it's almost certain he was murdered.

An Al Jazeera investigation triggered the Palestinian leader's exhumation in November last year.
