France has named a panel of judges to launch a probe abroad into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat over suspicions he was poisoned with radioactive substance polonium, a source said Tuesday.
The judges will visit Arafat\'s mausoleum in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Arafat died aged 75 in France in November 2004 and French doctors were unable to say what had killed him. Many Palestinians are convinced he was poisoned by Israel.
