A Palestinian fact-finding commission said in a report on Thursday that it failed to determine late leader Yasser Arafat's death reason.

The report said specialized physicians could not determine the reason for Arafat's sickness that led to his clinical state, which later caused his death.

However, it echoed a report by French physicians that the problem was in his metabolism system.

It said that the commission confirmed that the case started four hours after dinner on Oct. 11, 2004, while the French report said it was Oct. 12, 2004.

All routine medical tests that had tested all kinds of known poisons did not reveal anything, according to the report.

Arafat passed away on Nov. 11, 2004 after a two-week treatment in Percy Hospital in France. No official reports on Arafat's death reason have been released and some speculate that Arafat might be poisoned by Israeli agents.
