The remains of Yasser Arafat have been exhumed as experts try to ascertain whether the Palestinian leader was poisoned. The probe comes less than a week after the ceasefire between Gaza and Israel and precedes a UN vote on Palestine’s nation status.

Traces of a radioactive substance were found of Arafat’s effects in July, adding impetus to the theory he was murdered.
