Deathbed spy accuses Putin
The Sun Online (UK) ^ | NOVEMBER 25, 2006 | MIKE SULLIVAN

Police and security services believe the assassin secretly sprayed a mist of radioactive polonium-210 on Mr Litvinenko’s meal at a sushi bar. A large quantity of the element was found in his urine hours before he died at UCH.

Traces were also found at the Itsu sushi bar in Piccadilly where he met an Italian contact on November 1 — AND at the London Millennium Hotel where he later met two Russians.

The substance has also been identified in the Litvinenko family’s modern town house in Muswell Hill, North London.

Anti-terrorist officers from Scotland Yard’s SO15 department believe the sushi bar was the venue for the hit as the Russian defector had to digest the poison.

It can only contaminate if swallowed, deeply inhaled or through an open wound. One senior security source said: “The most likely explanation is his food was sprayed at the sushi bar and the material got on his clothing and was carried on him to his next meeting at the hotel and on to his home.”

Another source said: “We think it was either a liquid spray or possibly a powder. “

It's strange...I was looking at a photo of Vlad the
Infector, and while looking into Putin's eyes I determined he's a cold-blooded killer who would have slit a person's throat one second, and ordered the Shashlyk with borscht the next. But what do I know?

I simply cannot believe that a KGB Colonel would have his enemies killed. The shock is just too much for me.

From the same appeasing nations which refused to counter Hitler's well known evil aggression (until it was too late...) Now they continue with the Kremlin dispenser of death.

EU fail to raise former Russian spy's death with Putin

You and I know one very important Putin symp. HE looked into his eyes and "found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy.”

"You’re (Putin) the kind of guy I like to have in a foxhole with me.”
