French lawyers investigating the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat have questioned his widow as a witness.
A source told the AFP news agency that investigators spoke to Suha Arafat, who believes her husband may have been poisoned, in France last month.
Recently, privately hired Swiss experts found high levels of radioactive polonium on Arafat's personal effects.
They will accompany French prosecutors to the West Bank next month to exhume his body.
The former leader died in France in 2004, reportedly following a stroke resulting from a blood disorder.
A murder inquiry was launched in August after the Institute of Radiation Physics at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland found traces of polonium on his belongings that were 10 times higher than could occur naturally.
The investigation is still in its preliminary stages, and French prosecutors will take a decision on whether to proceed based on the evidence they recover.
They are due to arrive in Ramallah in the Occupied Palestinian Territories on 26 November to exhume Arafat's body.
Arafat, who led the Palestine Liberation Organisation for 35 years and became the first president of the Palestinian Authority in 1996, fell violently ill in October 2004 at his besieged West Bank compound.
Two weeks later he was flown to a French military hospital in Paris, where he died on 11 November 2004 at the age of 75.
Many Palestinians believe he was poisoned by Israel.
