Great find DC and I am with this opinion...$10 million of polonium-210 to poison him, one person, I think a .22 is less than a dollar?
All I can say is it is about time the media stop obsessing with less and less plausible assassination theories and look at the other alternatives. And I don’t say this to hope for vindication, but because the people of London and the UK need to know which threat they are dealing with. If it is was an assassination attempt it would be over. If it is something else it may just be beginning. That is important information to anyone facing dangerous nuclear materials floating around a major city. The amount of material is VERY important because the more that is being shipped around the more people who must be involved, and the less likely this is an assassination (or cheap to pull off).
"...but because the people of London and the UK need to know which threat they are dealing with"
I agree but I would rephrase it to "the people of the world"...I don't think this polo 210 smuggling is just to attack Great Britain. This could be an al quada operation for all we know.
Litvenko was Muslim and a Chechen supporter if strata-sphere is accurate in the reporting of details.
