In apparent flip-flop, Palestinian official now says no final decision yet on Arafat autopsy

RAMALLAH, West Bank — In an apparent flip-flop, Palestinian investigators looking into Yasser Arafat’s death said Thursday they want to review reports from a Swiss lab before deciding whether to exhume the leader’s remains.

Earlier this week, a top Palestinian official, Saeb Erekat, said President Mahmoud Abbas decided to exhume the body and would invite a team from the Swiss lab to come to the West Bank to perform the tests.

In an apparent reversal, members of a Palestinian committee set up to investigate Arafat’s death suggested Thursday the final word has not been spoken on whether to dig up the remains.

In an attempt at transparency, the committee also published 116 pages of medical treatment reports chronicling Arafat’s final month.

The PA leadership sure does struggle at making decisions.
