Tzemach, The Litvinienko affair is truly getting stranger. It now appears that the quantity of polonium involved was worth several tens of millions of dollars, maybe even 50 million dollars. It is hard to believe that event he oligarchs would spend that much to rub a guy out. Only someone who wanted the indisputable signature of the State on it....

The alternative explanation, that Litvinienko was accidentally poisoned as part of some other skullduggery is being investigated by A.J. Strata at www.strata-sphere.com; Litvinienko had at least some contacts to the Chechen terrorists/underworld.

On the other hand, the deathbed conversion to Islam may be less than what initially appeared.
