The UK authorities are admitting there was smuggling of Polonium-210. We know this smuggling happened over three rounds of activity that left trails of Polonium in gathering sites at hotels. Each round of smuggling is linked to trips by Lugovoi to the London and subsequent meetings with Litvinenkp and security companies shown to have been […]

I don’t need to underline what could possibly have pushed the UK to scramble and prepare their police forces for a possible dirty bomb attack: POLICE forces have been told to buy anti-radiation masks for their 100,000 frontline officers to protect them in the event of a “dirty bomb†terrorist attack. The Association of Chief […]

Many people are making a lot out of a tea cup at the Millenium Hotel in order to conclude that an assassination attempt must have happened at the Millenium Hotel Bar (despite all the other contaminated sites and people which precede the meeting of Litvinenko with Lugovoi and Kovtun): POISONED former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko […]

The activity around Dmitry Kovtun’s home in Hamburg, Germany is spreading. As readers noted in comments in the previous post the radiation has been found in apartments of Kovtun’s ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law (original story here, yahoo interpretation here): Hamburg – when investigations in a house in Haselau in the circle Pinneberg was determined a contamination, […]

OK, one more piece in the puzzle as radiation has been detected in the Hamburg apartment of Dmitry Kuvton: German police say they have found indications of radiation in an apartment apparently used by a contact of fatally poisoned former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. The traces of radiation turned up in the northern city of […]

Leave it to the bungling Polonium smugglers to shoot off their mouths again and actually make the case against a Putin assassination hit on Litvinenko as they try to make the opposite point: Akhmed Zakayev, a former Chechen resistance leader now exiled in London, told The Independent: “There wouldn’t have been such a scandal surrounding […]

This seems a bit wierd and doesn’t explain much of the contamination.

I am not surprised at the news that the Litvinenko investigation has moved to Hamburg, Germany. Dmitry Kovtun, one of the two Russians now in a Moscow hospital and the subject of conflicting reports that he has become seriously ill due to Polonium 210 poisoning, has his residence in Germany. This still may be part […]

Major Update: Bumping this to the top. As I predicted if this was a smuggling ring exposed by and accidental (and severe) contamination event the Russians involved would start to get seriously ill. We can now add Lugovoi to the list of those with a heavy dose of Polonium. It would seem he and Kuvton […]

It is interesting that we see a recurrence of ‘security firms’ in the Litvinenko contamination incident. Lugovoi ran a security firm. It seems Kovtun was a partner in one such firm. And I believe the third man at the Millenium Hotel, Sokolenko, worked for such a firm. While Lugovoi went to London three times in […]
