Federal and local law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting in Prince George's County that critically injured a prominent intelligence expert who specializes in the former Soviet Union.
Paul Joyal, 53, was shot Thursday, four days after he alleged in a television broadcast that the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin was involved in the fatal poisoning of a former KGB agent in London.

This deserves Breaking News status ... IMO.
I watched that show.
He hasn't been the only one to finger Putin. Several articles have also
coincidence? pong
this is getting creepy.
Ouch.
I got kicked in the oracles once...
Why...why its almost Mafia-like.
I wonder if the perps are already out of the country?
Nobody cares. Personally, this is the most outrageous news I've heard in a while. Mr. Joyal is both a law enforcement officer and former Senate intel security man.
Russia has made it clear - if you talk bad about Putin's handling of Chechnya, you will be killed or critically wounded. That really pisses me off.
Sorry but I'm a bit skeptical, if this was done by professionals why is he in a hospital instead of a morgue????
Maybe it was a warning.
"....if you talk bad about Putin's handling of Chechnya, you will be killed or critically wounded."
Putin's enemies might have more to gain by this than anyone. Whether it is a Putin directive or a wealthy opponent of him pining this on Putin, somebody has made a chess move but I don't think anyone can definitively say it was something Russia has made clear.
Just like using nuclear material which only a state government would have. The warning - no one is safe in the world when criticizing Pooty Poot, baby fine hair or not, deep soul-ful looks into the eyes of W. or not. PP is even meaner than Hillary.
Adelphi, MD is a rough area. It always has been rough, but nowadays it's even worse. Lots of illegals living in group houses, gang tags, gangs. Heck it's almost like DC anymore.
The guy could have been targeted because of his ties/knowledge, but it's also just as likely that it was typical PG county crime.
I gotta get outta this place.
the KGB is back folks...
Sheesh. Who'da thunk Putin would follow in the clintonista's footsteps.......
