Where's the "shock"?
Russia poisoning the guy simply makes no sense. A slow-acting poison giving him plenty of time to talk to the press certainly isn't a KGB method of operation. There's a lot more to this story than has thus far been uncovered.
"Scaramella, who headed an organisation which tracked dumped nuclear waste, has DENIED being responsible for the ex-spy’s agonising demise."
I always wondered what happened to all the nuclear (biological) waste from the former Soviet Union, often suspected it could fall into the hands of terrorists or mafia, for the right price.
Back in the late 1980s, early 1990s there were many articles about this published.
Perhaps the killers, whomever they were, intended to kill him more quickly, or perhaps it was supposed to take even longer with more subtle symptoms. As it is they might as well have shot him in broad daylight.
That would make a lot more sense. One could always blame it on the present urban condition worldwide.
There's something else afoot here.
Cool, thanks!
I think he died from a combination of global warming and high taxes.
...and possibly second hand smoke.
"Perhaps the killers, whomever they were, intended to kill him more quickly, or perhaps it was supposed to take even longer with more subtle symptoms. As it is they might as well have shot him in broad daylight."
Nah, I think the killers did it just as intended. They let the everybody know who they are but without anyway to get the amount of proof that would justify any kind of action. The Russians did it and are daring anybody to prove it's them. Just because times have changed don't mean certain national psychologies and tactics have. This is just one of the ways the Russians are famous for doing things.
Ha! Yessir!
Hi was eating uncooked sushi, so perhaps Scaramella poisoning.
The old KGB used to have a film they'd show new recruits. It was of a traitor they'd caught being lowered into an active smokestack at, I believe, a steel mill, by a crane. Just their way of sending a friendly little message.
LOL....or Salmon-ella :-)
Oh, yes. Friendly guys! :-)
I just can't automatically attribute this to KGB, though. Too easy. I'm sure this guy had cultivated a lot of potential menaces. Guess we'll just have to see what Scotland Yard comes up with ... And then the other questions will begin ...
ha ha! That's a keeper!
There was also the snuff film of putting a live guy into a crematorium.
‘We have a very simple rule: it’s a rouble to get in, but two to get out. Theoretically there’s only one way out for any member of the organisation — through the chimney of the crematorium. For some it is an honourable exit, but for others it is a shameful and terrible way to go, but there’s only one chimney for all of us.’(Suvorov goes on to describe a movie for GRU recruits, showing a live cremation at ‘The Aquarium’, GRU headquarters).— Viktor Suvorov, Inside the Aquarium.
