Radioactive Polonium 210 Poisoned Alexander Litvinenko
by John Little on 24/11/2006This isn’t really surprising given the symptoms we saw:
A large quantity of radiation, probably from a substance called Polonium 210, has been found in the body of dead ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
The “major dose” of alpha radiation was detected in his urine, said Government experts, who added that Polonium 210 is only dangerous if ingested.
They also revealed that police have found radiation in a central London sushi bar where Mr Litvinenko ate shortly before falling ill – and in a hotel where he had met two Russians that morning.
Dr Pat Troop, head of the Health Protection Agency, said the death was an “unprecedented event in the UK” and he had “apparently been poisoned by a type of radiation”.
Most politicians in Putin’s shoes would be toast after an event like this. It’s going to be interesting to watch this play out. I thinkit’s time to pick up a copy of Blowing up Russia : Terror from Within.
