It’s a murder mystery that has the trappings of a Hollywood thriller: a former Russian spy turned Kremlin critic is granted asylum in Britain, ends up working for the British secret service, then dies after a mysterious poisoning in London in 2006.

And now, the British public inquiry in Alexander Litvinenko's death accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of having "probably approved" the assassination.

plausible deniability?

He turned on his previous handlers and betrayed his own by working for British Intelligence.


His path was chosen and his fate consistent with what he chose.

They spent money on that inquiry? Seriously?

He was killed with a super rare radioactive substance that they tracked back to Russia with it's radioactive signature.

Not only did they kill him....they WANTED people to know it was them.

Who would have guessed Putin could have done something like this. He's such a nice guy.
