Polonium and Investigation -- Again


Years ago I blogged -- practically as events were unfolding -- about the apparent assassination of Alexander Litvinenko with Polonium. See, e.g., this post. Now the possibility has been suggested that Yasser Arafat met his death the same way. See the NYTimes article What Is Polonium-210 and How Can It Kill? (July 5, 2012).
