The body of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat could be exhumed after it emerged that he may have been poisoned.

The results of a nine-month investigation, commissioned by the broadcaster al Jazeera, found the radioactive substance polonium in items belonging to him.

A Senior Palestinian official called for a probe into Arafat's death.

Arafat's widow Suha Arafat said she would push for her husband's body to be exhumed so further tests could be carried out.
