An assassin sprayed a deadly poison into Alexander Litvinenko's tea, the man who served the victim and his killer has revealed.In the first eyewitness account of the moment the former Russian spy was consigned to death, Norberto Andrade describes how, as he tried to serve drinks to Mr Litvinenko and the former KGB agents Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, he was deliberately distracted in order, he claims, to allow the killer to add radioactive polonium to a pot of green tea.

Mr Andrade, 67, the head barman of the Pine Bar at the Millennium Hotel in London, says investigators later found polonium contamination on a picture above where Mr Litvinenko was sitting, supporting the notion that the poison had been administered by a spray.

Recounting the extraordinary events of November 1 last year, Mr Andrade, who has worked at the hotel for 27 years, told The Sunday Telegraph: "When I was delivering gin and tonic to the table, I was obstructed. I couldn't see what was happening, but it seemed very deliberate to create a distraction. It made it difficult to put the drink down.

I feel so sorry for this poor man and all that were working in that restaurant. He is right. The assassin showed NO concern for anyone whom he KNEW would be exposed to the poison for weeks to come after he sprayed it into the teapot. They will all be very lucky if they don't come up with health problems in the years to come that could shorten their lives, to say nothing of Litvenenko himself. Horrible. And to think that nothing is going to be able to be done about it? In today's world, this is all just so incredible.

Hmm, every tea pot I’ve seen has a lid on it to keep the water warm. How could spray get into the pot unless someone opened the lid or got close enough to spray directly into the spout?

George W. Bush said he looked into the eyes
of Vladimir Putin and said he saw a good man.

George does not have any discernment.

After this event it is very clear that
Vladimir Putin has the Evil One,
haSatan living inside of him.

It takes a minuscule amount of polonium to kill someone. How would it make the tea “gooey?” If the tea was gooey Litvenko would notice. Why would you “spray” something so deadly and risk being poisoned yourself?
