The Litvinenko saga continues...

In a somewhat disjointed article the BBC says that there may have been multiple attempts to poison Alexander Litvinenko.

There may have been multiple attempts to kill Russian ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko before he died, BBC One's Panorama programme has discovered.

The first poison bid may have come two weeks before he met Mario Scaramella in a sushi bar on 1 November.

More than one poisoning attempt? That doesn't sound too surprising. Poisonings don't always come off as planned. At least they don't on "The Forensic Files" (OK, this isn't a Court TV docu-drama, but you get the point).

The programme also visited Laboratory Number 12 in Moscow.

An anonymous ex-Soviet intelligence officer said: "It's the laboratory that every year gets its budget to work with radioactive poisons."

Isn't that interesting? A Russian laboratory with an annual budget to work with "radioactive poisons"?

Since Russia has effectively managed to block and suppress the investigation of this murder, we may never find out the truth. But every new story seems to point the finger back at Russia and Vladimir Putin.

ah now its working..perhaps this comment box is the prob?..I'm on IE..so who knows?..hi Perri!..do u think they will ever figure this out and will we ever be privvy to the truth?

Perri Nelson responded with:

Actually, I think we know the truth already, but we'll never be able to prove it.

I'm seriously considering scrapping this tool for doing comments. It's blocked more than one person from commenting in the past. It doesn't seem to be consistent in how or why.

Is this a concern that his life is in danger?  What did they expect?
