Yasser Arafat: France opens murder inquiry
French prosecutors have opened a murder inquiry into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in 2004.
His family launched a case last month over claims that he was poisoned with polonium-210, a radioactive element.
Swiss scientists hired by a documentary crew said they found traces of polonium on some of Arafat's belongings, as the BBC's Hugh Schofield explains.
