Ex-Russian Spy Dies.

They're never going to know what happened.

It's a case of the government wanting to cover it up.. so they will. By any means.
 
there was a thing in new sci about it (small article) saying that theres another thing that they gave him at the same time. guess it was just too much.

WW3 anyone?

Which government? Ours or the Russian? I agree it sounds as if the doctors don't know what he was poisoned with and surely they have the most urgent need to know in order to treat him if they can.

I remember reading an article couple of days ago on BBC News saying that they believed he may have been poisoned with something radioactive. However the radioactive material had such a short half life that they didn't have a chance to work out what it was.

I don't think anyone said it was.

It still stinks though. I would rather the Russians said, yeah, he was a liability and we whacked him.
 
Sadly I expect we'll never hear the full story behind this, especially if the russian government are involved as the media have suggested. I suspect they'll get a ticking off behind closed doors for carrying out this sort of thing on british soil, but nothing public.

That the Russians wouldnt admit even if it was them, thats fairly clear. However, these sorts of situations are way too obvious even for them. They are well aware that if certain person, obvious opponent to the Russian state, dies people can add 2+2 and see who got the biggest motives. Now thats a pure speculation and its going a bit too much into detail but here we got two possible cases of 1) Its the Russian government and they dont give a toss about who may think what and 2) Its not them and some of their enemies are trying influence the world opinion towards it(this may well include oligarchs who simply want the current status quo to remain).

It's not the first time it's happened.

The case of Anna Politkovskaya being murdered by a hitman was fairly recent. She exposed Putin and various other corruption in her reports and then ended up dead.

It's clear that if someone doesn't like what you are saying in Russia, you might be killed.

Clearly but the question is whether its the government or some organisation wants to create that trend in order for us to think its the government.
