BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhuanet)-- This week, Yasser Arafat's widow has called for the late Palestinian leader's body to be exhumed after scientists in Switzerland found elevated traces of radioactive polonium-210 on clothing he allegedly wore before his death in 2004.
Polonium-210 is one of the world's rarest elements, discovered in 1898 by scientists Marie and Pierre Curie and named in honour of her country of origin, Poland. Less than 1 gram (0.04 ounces) of the silver powder is sufficient to kill.
