Litvinenko was victim of 'Russian rogue agents' - The Guardian

British intelligence sources increasingly suspect that Alexander Litvinenko killed with a radioactive poison, was the victim of a plot involving "rogue elements" within the Russian state, The Guardian writes today. While ruling out any official involvement by Vladimir Putin's government, investigators believe that only those with access to state nuclear laboratories could have mounted such a sophisticated plot, the paper notes.

The Guardian reports that police were last night closing in on a group of men who entered the UK among a large crowd of Muscovite football fans. The group of five or more arrived shortly before Litvinenko fell ill and attended the CSK Moscow match against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium on November 1; they flew back shortly afterwards. While describing them only as witnesses, police believe their presence could hold the key to the former spy's death, the paper marks. Andrei Lugovoi, a former KGB spy who met Litvinenko at the Millennium Hotel on November 1, has said that he was on a London-bound flight from Moscow on October 31 with his family and some friends. The group attended the Arsenal-CSK Moscow match the next day. The second man who was at the meeting in the hotel, Dmitri Kovtun, arrived in London early on November 1 on a flight from Hamburg. Both men returned to Moscow together on the same flight on November 3. Kovtun said both he and Lugovoi had been tested for any signs that they had been in contact with radioactive substances and were waiting for the results, according to The Guardian.

A British Airways (BA) Boeing-767 today leaves Domodedovo airport in Moscow for London to be checked for radioactivity, news agency Interfax reports, referring to the BA representation office in Moscow.
In its turn, a Transaero Boeing 737 arrived yesterday from London's Heathrow Airport. No traces of radiation have been found on board the plane, Transaero press secretary Sergey Bykhal told Interfax. Transaero has started checking all of its planes that flew to London in the past three months. Two planes have been checked in Moscow. No traces of radiation were discovered in them, according to Bykhal.

Officials explain their increasing belief that Litvinenko's death involved Russian state elements with the fact that only the state would have access to such a radioactive material.
Officials now go so far as to say that the involvement of individuals within the FSB in the affair is "probable", The Guardian says. Intelligence sources do not rule out the possibility that the perpetrators were "rogue elements" either still in the FSB or former members of it.

Though police anti-terrorist officers are in charge of the operation, the paper cits Whitehall officials who also said MI5 and MI6 were helping. The British embassy in Moscow and the Russian embassy in London are also involved.
