The poisoning of Litvinenko's body—and mind

Cloak-and-dagger spy scandal shoots polonium onto world stage

UPDATE - 23rd May 2007: Since this article was first published (21st March 2007), there have been further developments. British prosecutors have announced murder charges against an ex-KGB agent, who denies any involvement in the Litvinenko death.

UPDATE - 24th January 2016: Many news outlets again were giving much publicity to polonium and the Litvinenko case, after a British inquiry asserted that the assassination "probably" had been given approval at the highest level of Russian leadership.

Celebrity actor Johnny Depp is reportedly planning to produce a movie about the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, with himself in the starring role.

It was reported that when British police analysed a teapot at the London hotel visited by Litvinenko for traces of polonium-210 it gave an ‘off-the-chart’ reading for the radioactive material used in the killing.
