Palestinian call for Arafat death probe backed by Tunis

A Palestinian call for an international probe into Yasser Arafat's death won official backing from Tunisia on Thursday, after a report showed the iconic leader may have been poisoned.

Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki told the official Voice of Palestine radio on Thursday that such an enquiry could finally "close the file" on Arafat's mysterious death.

And Tunisia called for the Arab League to convene.

"We call for an urgent meeting of Arab League foreign ministers and the creation of an international committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death" of Arafat, Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem told private radio station Mosaique FM.

Malki said: "We are waiting for this Tunisian initiative to be translated into action and for the meeting to be held.

"Then we will ask for an international investigation committee to be formed similar to the one formed into the assassination of (Lebanese Prime Minister) Rafiq Hariri so we can solve so many of the unanswered questions.

"We want to show that the PA (Palestinian Authority) leadership and people are all anxious to know all the details surrounding Arafat's death, so we can close this file," he said.

On Tuesday, Al-Jazeera television broadcast the results of a nine-month probe it commissioned into the 2004 death of the veteran Palestinian leader that indicated he could have been poisoned with the radioactive substance polonium.

The next day Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, who succeeded Arafat, endorsed exhuming his body from its mausoleum at the Palestinian presidency headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah for a forensic examination.

Arafat's personal Tunisian doctor, Faisal Hentati, said on Thursday he would be prepared to cooperate with any international investigation but would not comment on Al-Jazeera's findings.

"I am prepared to cooperate, with duty and conviction, with an international scientific investigation as part of a judicial process to find out the truth," he told AFP in Tunis.

"I am ready to testify," said Hentati, who accompanied the ailing Arafat from Ramallah to the Paris hospital where he died.

"I cannot comment on the results, nor the suspicions of an assassination, that would amount to a murder accusation against a third party. That is not my role," the doctor said.

Tunis hosted the Palestine Liberation Organisation, of which Arafat was the chairman, after it was expelled from Lebanon during the 1982 Israeli invasion and until the 1994 launch of Palestinian autonomy.

The supreme Palestinian Islamic authority, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammed Hussein, said there was no religious law forbidding Arafat's exhumation.

"If it is necessary to examine a body for the needs of an inquiry and that requires its full or partial retrieval there is nothing to prevent that," he told AFP on Thursday.

The Institute of Radiation Physics at Switzerland's University of Lausanne tested items belonging to Arafat at Al-Jazeera's request, including clothing which was handed to his widow Suha by the Paris military hospital where he died in November 2004 at the age of 75.

Suha Arafat gave Al-Jazeera permission to take the items, which contained strands of Arafat's hair and traces of sweat, urine and blood, for testing at several European laboratories, including the Swiss institute, which reported finding high levels of polonium.

Polonium, which is highly toxic, was used to kill Russian former spy turned Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, who died in 2006 after drinking tea laced with the substance at a London restaurant.

"Polonium is a relatively new radioactive poison," the head of Israel's Abu Kabir forensic institute, Yehuda Hiss, told public radio.

"I would suggest taking samples of the earth over his grave and from what remains of the body after several years, including the skeleton, teeth and nails," the expert said.

"Polonium decays with time, but it is now possible to trace it through its most stable components," Hiss added.

Suha Arafat rejected an autopsy after her husband's death but on Wednesday told AFP that she was "immediately to send a formal letter to the Swiss laboratory that conducted the tests, to authorise collection of samples of the remains of the martyr Arafat to verify the results."

The nephew of the deceased, Nasser al-Qidwa, another family representative whose consent is required, has not yet formally expressed his wishes.

In an editorial entitled "Our people have a right to know," the Palestinian daily Al-Quds said the Al-Jazeera programme "raises more questions than it answers about the perpetrators of the assassination" of Yasser Arafat.

"The most important question is: Could Israel have committed this crime alone, without help from (Palestinian) collaborators or without a flagrant failure of security measures intended to protect the president?" it asked.

More states freed from No Child Left Behind law

SEATTLE (AP) ? The Obama administration said Friday that two more states, Washington and Wisconsin, will be exempted from many requirements of the federal "No Child Left Behind" education law.

The decision brings to 26 the number of states granted waivers as Congress remains at a stalemate regarding an overhaul to former President George W. Bush's signature accomplishment. With more than half of the states now free from many of the law's requirements, there are questions about the future of No Child Left Behind.

The 10-year-old federal No Child Left Behind law requires all students to achieve proficient math and reading scores by 2014, a goal that many educators say is impossible.

The Education Department began granting the waivers in February in exchange for promises from states to improve how they prepare and evaluate students. The executive action by Obama is part of an ongoing effort to act on his own when Congress is rebuffing him.

The administration says the waivers are a temporary measure while Education Secretary Arne Duncan continues to work with Congress to rewrite the law, which is formally known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

"A strong, bipartisan reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act remains the best path forward in education reform, but as 26 states have now demonstrated, our kids can't wait any longer for Congress to act," Duncan said in a statement released Friday.

The 10-year-old federal No Child Left Behind law requires all students to achieve proficient math and reading scores by 2014, a goal that many educators say is impossible.

Members of both parties agree the No Child Left Behind law is broken but have been unable to agree on how to fix it. While it has been praised for focusing on the performance of minorities, low-income students, English language learners and special education students, it has also led to a number of schools being labeled as "failing."

Critics also say the law has had the unintended effect of encouraging instructors to teach to the test and has led schools to narrow their curricula.

Washington state schools chief Randy Dorn said the waiver will lift the requirement that all students pass both the state reading and math tests by 2014. It will also give Washington school districts more flexibility about how they spend some federal dollars.

In return, Washington will need to show improvement in test scores for subgroups of students who have historically had lower scores than average, such as those who qualify for free- or reduced-price meals.

In late May, Wisconsin officials said they were modifying some details of their waiver application and expected approval soon.

The federal Education Department earlier wrote to officials in that state, saying Wisconsin had a number of commendable proposals, but they were too short on detail.

Other waiver applications are still pending in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Six waivers were approved last month in Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia.

In order to get a waiver, each state had to promise to show in other ways that its students and schools are improving, and they were required to more closely link teacher evaluations to student test scores, among other requirements.

Washington's waiver application emphasized its embrace of new national education standards, the state's new teacher and principal evaluations, and its efforts to take a broader look at student achievement beyond reading and math by also testing for writing and science.

The waiver agreement requires that by 2018, Washington cut in half achievement gaps between various ethnic and economic groups, when compared with 100 percent passage rates. For example, if one group had 74 percent passing reading in 2011, that group would need to have 87 percent passing by 2018.

The agreement adds another requirement for Title I schools, which are high-poverty public schools that get extra money from the federal government to help students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind.

It requires the state education office to annually identify priority schools, which are the 5 percent lowest-achieving of Title I schools; focus schools, which are the lowest 10 percent of Title I schools; and reward schools, the highest performing Title I schools or those making the most progress in a given year.

China Central Bank Floods Money Market

SHANGHAI?China's central bank has flooded the local money market with cash in recent days, stoking expectations that it may be signaling a broader monetary easing, just as it did two months ago.

Since last week, the People's Bank of China has ramped up its use of reverse-repurchase operations, an increasingly important tool for pumping short-term liquidity into the banking system. It did something similar in May, shortly before it cut banks' reserve requirements, freeing up huge amounts of cash that banks could lend out to boost the slowing economy.
