Pretty sure the Russians are better at this kind of stuff :p
We couldn't even get Castro after a couple failed attempts, one was a poisoned milkshake but it froze so they had to give him a difference one.

Newsflash! Man is poisoned while eating at the sushi bar!

Up next: A woman dies in a skydiving accident. Was it an accident or was her parachute rigged by Russian FSB? Find out at eleven!

Methinks that he got treated for radiation poisoning and that he didn't really have it to begin with. Now, after al the intensive treatment, his body is giving up.

it is one person, to extrapolate that this particular poison could be delivered to masses is erroneous

After reading about the incident and history it's amazingly convient for the russians to have the guy die.

Somehow i dont believe the russians did it. Not their style to do it so obviously. They are better at assisanation than that.

Happened right here in London too. If he was assassinated, it means there in an active Russian hit squad within a few miles of here.

"HOUSE" could have saved him ;)...but it is a scary thought that the doctors have no clue to what killed him.

A Russian former died Thursday night in a London hospital three weeks after his suspected poisoning, with doctors unable to determine the cause of his illness,

I think that European spy agencies poisoned him to continue to manipulate public opinion in Europe against Russia.

Looks like doctors and authorities have, after his death, discovered the radioactive toxin polonium-210 in his body, in a 'large dose'.

As a virtually pure 'alpha radiation' emitter, it's radiation, once in the body, is extremely difficult to detect (a geiger counter would likely not register anything), but severely damaging to the body's tissues.

The substance has also been detected at the Sushi bar where the alleged poisoning took place, Mr Litvinenko's home and a hotel hoom.
