I wonder if this man and his daughter would have been shot would it have caused the same uproar..........Im sure the Russians are the experts in this sort of killing and could have done it in such a way not to cause so much attention..... if they did do it, they wanted to be found out... it was done for that purpose...

All is not so unambiguous.

They just laughed at your impudence.

Typical work of propaganda. To draw powerful conclusions without the results of a normal investigation. Good luck.

Countries?

Human beings have been killing each other since the year one, long before so-called countries ever existed.

My question is (didn't find the answer yet): why did UK refused to provide a sample of the poison for analysis, like the international laws ask?

Is's interesting, but Russian military should be involved in the analysis of this substance. It is a normal world practice. Otherwise, Russia does not recognize the results of the investigation.
The russian military should stay in russia!

If this is a true matter of your concern, I'll contact my liaisons in Iran. I'll see what I can do.
Just for you, Easthome.

P.S. And the last but not least..
Forgive me all the fans of football here, ( because I am clearly not following the events,) but wasn't there some kind of world championship planned in Moscow? This spring?
If yes, then timing of this whole event with "Novichok" makes me feel very uneasy somehow.
I mean the timing for doing something like this for Russians is highly strange.
( Unless of course Russians are not keen on seeing British fans in Moscow, and are trying to wiggle out of the whole deal in advance.)

The Russian found dead at his home in London on the 12th March has now been found to have been murdered by compression to the neck.

Nikolai Glushkov was the number one extradition target wanted by Russia on it's own list and was therefore Russia's most wanted man in the UK.

The list published by the Russian Embassy in the UK is here and shows Glushkov as the number one extradition target

I am sorry BNW, I don't have time right now to read the whole article on the "Russian Embassy" site, but from what I see right away in Russian Wiki regarding this particular person, is that he has been a "business partner" of Berezovsky. (The very scandalous Berezovsky, who, as the word has it, introduced Putin to Yeltsin.)
Now with THIS kind of "business partners" ( or should I say - crooks/swindlers) one will always wonder, whether it was really the *FSB* that finished him off, or one of his "business partners"?
