The widow of Yasser Arafat on Tuesday July 31, 2012 formally asked for a French investigation into his death, bringing a complaint of assassination weeks after raising new suspicions that the former Palestinian leader was poisoned before his 2004 death in a French military hospital. Earlier this month, Palestinian authorities gave final approval for Arafat’s body to be exhumed. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen, File)
