“WOuldnt the Russians have used Ricin instead? Its harder to detect, and a standard Russia poison for years.”
Well then, tell the Russkies to extradite Lugovey and cooperate in the investigation, and we can ask him under interrogation why he used common Polonium 210, that you get off anywhere, to poison Litvinenko instead of ricin. Maybe he was the one who did Ukraine’s prime minister too. It didn’t manage to kill him though, just badly disfigured him.
“Where is the proof? Litvineko supposed converted to Islam and is a supporter of the Chechen cause, so i don t know if we should be quick to take him at his word.”
Check Litvinenko’s books for the matter, as well as the testimony of other FSB agents who identified Russian inteligence officers with being behind the apartment buildings in Russia, which was later blamed on the Chechens.
You should probably question everything you believe and start to wonder why it is RT has losers like Alex Jones promoting 9/11 Truther lies. There is a common thing guilty people do, which is called Projection.
Litvinenko was a pro-muslim pro-chechen propaganda journalist. He promoted the theory that islamic terrorist attacks in Russia were false flag operations. He was denied refugee/dissident entry to the USA, probably because he was a kook. And yes, he did convert to islam.

Fellow FReeper Angelus Errare (Dan Darling) stated the following about the apartment bombings in a couple of mails to me.
“Berezovsky is a well-known opponent of Putin and I believe that he alleges that the FSB had those apartment buildings in Moscow blown up in 1999 to drum up support for the war in Chechnya. I generally consider those claims to be bulls*it and Berezovsky to be the Russian equivalent to Ted Kennedy or Howard Dean, though I must confess some apprehension with Putins attitudes towards a free media in Russia. And then there is the matter that Berezovsky saw nothing wrong with backing the first war in Chechnya, but that is neither here nor there ...”
“My own opinion about the Moscow bombings was based primarily on the screeds posted in the archives at Kavkaz Center and the now-defunct Azzam.com memorializing the event while the Chechen leadership denied any connection to it. This was pretty much the same way that al-Qaeda reacted to the 9/11 attacks.”
