Update: New twist on the timeline from this article referenced by a reader: Scaramella also described how Litvinkeno had mentioned he had been at a meeting beforehand. “He said to me that he was in London to see some people in the morning and that he would be free to see me in the afternoon,” […]

Update: The news about Scaramella has caused the UK’s anti-terrorism committee, COBRA, to go into session again this morning. This news really does muddy the waters. And I am still waiting to here how Berezovsky’s offices became contaminated and when. – end update This news is also quite important to the timeline of events: An […]

Major Update: Russia is denying UK media reports that the reactor site in question could be the source of the Polonium since the site doesn’t produce Polonium (but does produce Plutonium). It would seem maybe that tracing is not as good as first perceived. – end update Knowing how dodgy the reporting has been on […]

Polonium-210 has been found at the 43-year-old’s home in Osier Crescent, off […]

The Independent reported falsely (as I now know from our treasured reader Clarice Feldman is not uncommon) that Scaramella claimed Litvinenko was involved in nuclear smuggling, which later Scaramella denied happened. But Scaramella told the AP that he had been misquoted by the newspaper. “He (Litvinenko) wanted to see me because he knew about smuggling […]

The number of sites with contamination now supposedly stands at a dozen, according to the UK government. Traces of radiation have been found at a dozen sites in Britain during the investigation of the poisoning of a former Russian spy, Home Secretary John Reid said Thursday. Here is my list of the potential dirty dozen […]

According to late reporting tonight one of the contaminated planes flew one of the Russians who met Litvinenko late in the day of the Polonium contamination of Litvinenko back to Moscow. One of the two Russians who had drinks with Alexander Litvinenko on the day the ex-security service agent fell mortally ill has said he […]
