Palestinian Prime Minister Ahamd Qurei said that the Palestinian Authority (P.A) will release the report of the Special Medical Committee which was formed to investigate the death of the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat.
Qurei stated that the report will include a summery of the medical report released by the Persi military hospital in France, when Arafat died on November 11, 2004 after a two-week illness which caused fast decline of his health condition.
“Neither the Palestinian, nor the French report, arrived to conclusive results regarding the causes of Arafat’s illness and deathâ€Â, Qurei said, “The reports did not prove that Arafat was poisoned, but they do not void the possibility that Arafat was poisoned by an unknown kind poisonâ€Â. ÂÂ
Also, Qurei added that Palestinian and French physicians who treated Arafat did not find any indication for Viruses, Germs, AIDS or bacteria.
“The file will remain openâ€Â, Qurei added, “Maybe the doctors might be able to find out the reason for Arafat’s deathâ€Â.
Israeli online daily Haaretz reported several weeks ago that Arafat’s medical reports indicated that he may have died of AIDS or that he was somehow poisoned by Israel; Israeli security services rejected the report.
“The reports of Arafat’s death revealed that he died of a massive stroke after suffering intestinal inflammation, a blood condition, and jaundice†Haaretz reported, “but the reports were not conclusive about the causes of the blood conditionâ€Â.
In medical terms, Arafat’s blood condition was referred to as “disseminated intravascular coagulationâ€Â, this condition emerges from several causes, including blood infections to colitis to liver diseases.
