COLOMBO, March 19 (Bernama) — Attallah Quiba, the Palestinian ambassador in Sri Lanka, believes that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was killed by unnamed Israelis using advanced technology, the Island newspaper said.

Responding to questions at a media conference in Colombo on Friday, Quiba claimed that two Israelis who met Arafat on the day he was taken sick “used a laser device to attack Arafat.”

“They tried to flee after using the device but were wrestled down by the Palestinian Authority security personnel. Both men were carrying Canadian passports.”

“There were four people in all with Arafat at the time he was taken sick. If food poisoning was the cause then the others should also have suffered the same fate.”

Quiba said he had met Arafat a few days before his death and did not see anything wrong with his health. “He was in good health and good spirits”.
