    Ex-KGB officer 'poisoned in UK'

    UK police are investigating the alleged poisoning of a Russian former security agent and critic of President Vladimir Putin living in exile in Britain.

    Alexander Litvinenko, a former colonel in the KGB, told the BBC he fell ill after meeting a contact at a London sushi bar on 1 November.

    Police say he is in a serious but stable condition in University College Hospital, central London.

    The highly-toxic metal thallium was reportedly used in the alleged attack.

    He said he had been investigating the murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was killed in Moscow last month.

    It will be interesting to see whether the UK Govt will pretend that nothing happened or actually respond to assasination attempt on a British citizen (he recently became one) who had asylum here.

        He helped to stop arms transfers to known communist groups in Italy, pointed out actual KGB agents in EU countries, stated the links between Russia and “Islamic” terrorism and organized crime and of course there was the small matter of that certain book, Terror From Within.

        You want to look at some of what he has written in the past.
