IRAN: WOMAN, TWO CHILDREN BLOCKED AT MOSCOW AIRPORT
Tehran, 22 Jan. - Zahra Kamalfar and her two children have reportedly been living for the past 130 days at Moscow's international airport after they were denied entrance in the country and their political asylum application was rejected. Russian authorities have given them no assistance, reports said Monday.
Kamalfar reportedly decided to leave Iran after her husband disappeared a year ago. A political opponent of the Iranian government like her husband, Kamalfar also spent eight months in jail in 2004 for taking part in a demonstration, reports say.

LONDON — Police have identified the man they believe poisoned Alexander Litvinenko. The suspected killer was captured on cameras at Heathrow as he flew into Britain to carry out the murder. Friends of the ex-spy say that the man was a hired killer, sent by the Kremlin, who vanished hours after administering a deadly dose of radioactive polonium-210 to Litvinenko.
He arrived in London on a forged EU passport and reportedly slipped the poison into a cup of tea he made for Litvinenko in a London hotel room. Litvinenko was reportedly able to give vital details of his suspected killer in a bedside interview with detectives just days before he died on November 23 at University College Hospital.
Police have decided not to publish pictures of this man, who was seen on CCTV cameras as he flew in from Hamburg on November 1, the day that Litvinenko fell ill. He is described as being tall and powerfully built, in his early thirties with short, cropped black hair and distinctive Central Asian features.
