Insight: Old assumptions questioned in Arafat's mysterious death

A portrait of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat hangs on a wall in the Yasser Arafat foundation in the West Bank city of Ramallah By Crispian Balmer RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - President Yasser Arafat's spartan bedroom remains largely as he left it in 2004, when he flew off to France for treatment for a mystery illness only to return home two weeks later in a coffin. Arafat's body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag, was buried nine years ago, but conspiracy theories he was poisoned were never laid to rest, with accusations flying on all sides.
