Even if true, why do you assume it was the US? There are many actors with the willingness, capability and motivation.

I don't assume the US (merely using it as an example when we question the possibility of conspiracy theories being true).

Arafat could have been killed by other (more radical) Muslims, by the Israelis, by any number of people (though the method suggests a government was probably involved). Milosevic was likely killed by some western government, based on circumstance (being in custody at the Hague), and the fact that he revealed that people were trying to kill him before it happened...

the fact that he revealed that people were trying to kill him

He claimed people were trying to kill him. Revealed implies that this claim has been proven as fact, which it certainly has not.

Suppose I claim that people are trying to kill me. Have I revealed a truth, or is it possible that I'm making things up?

I don't understand who/what your markup is meant for? Are you claiming that things you're writing are probably not true and should be ignored? Then why are you writing them? This seems a little too clever.
