Litvinenko case: The mystery continues

On November 1 a year ago Aleksandr Litvinenko -- a former lieutenant colonel in the FSB -- suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. 3 weeks later he died under highly suspicious circumstances. Traces of polonium-210 were found in London. A spy scandal rocked both Britain and Russia. The mystery is still unresolved despite of the fact that Scotland Yard has named the prime suspect. Aleksey Yaroshevskiy pieces together events in the "Litvinenko case: The mystery continues" documentary.

Putin has too much blood on his hands/

[artemu78]

After he "opened political secrets" he became a businessman. Also a "businessman" Boris Beresovski he was a chief of many russian huge plants and after this he became a "businessman". Legal court waiting him with questions about his money. But Britain has own targets and that is why it does not extradition terrorist Ahmed Zakaev and thief Boris Beresovski. (sorry for my english). It is all about stolen money.

@Aniva66 Don't know the answer to that. Possibly yea. Either way, Putin is one powerful guy! I definitely wouldn't want to be on his bad side.

@dickin585

So, are you saying that there is no cure, if it is ingested? maybe we don't know the cure again...but i get the feeling a cure exists (in the universe?)

[dickin585]

@Aniva66 THey didn't identify what made him sick until after he died. Polonium-210 is an extremely rare substance. It also doesn't emit gamma rays, which are common among most radioactive isotopes. When you look for radiation, you usually look for gamma rays. (Actually it emits 1 gamma ray per 100K alpha rays. It's a short range poison that doesn't even penetrate a sheet of paper when spilled. But when ingested it is 500 times stronger than cyanide.
