The story took on a new twist today when the Health Protection Agency confirmed that one more person has tested positive for polonium poisoning.
An HPA spokesman said the quantity of Polonium 210 in the unnamed person's body were "likely to be of concern for their immediate health".
Someone has been poisoned enough to die.
FOX just reported that it's the Italian, and that he is in immediate danger.
Sounds like he's on the way out as well, doesn't it?

LONDON (Reuters) - A female adult relative of poisoned Russian Alexander Litvinenko has been exposed to radioactive polonium 210 but is not in any short-term danger, officials said on Friday.
Home Secretary John Reid told Sky News: "It is a fraction of the lethal dose that Mr Litvinenko himself had."
A spokeswoman for the Health Protection Agency said the isotope had shown up in a urine test.
"The levels are not significant enough to result in any illness in the short term, and the results are reassuring in that any increased risk in the long term is likely to be very small," she said, adding that the woman was not in hospital.
Litvinenko, a former Russian spy who became an outspoken Kremlin critic, was poisoned by polonium and died last week.<<
