Answer 1

The death yesterday of a former Russian secret service agent in London is a matter for the police and related agencies. I would not wish to pre-judge its cause or who was responsible.

The implications of the availability of poisonous, highly radioactive, materials are frightening. Individual assassinations are only one sort of resulting threat.

Without going into specifics, the lack of control of radioactive material after the collapse of the Soviet Union was a matter for great worldwide concern. Nuclear proliferation leads to several very serious concerns about the availability of radioactive material to terrorists from sources in more than one country.

Before people get ideas into their heads about the sale of radioactive materials, can I point out that these are very nasty stuff? Unscrupulous people selling them are unlikely to be fussy about health and safety issues and those buying them are likely to poison themselves, quite apart from receiving large doses of radiation. Not a good idea at all.

Answer 2

That's a good question. However, if you look at the form of Polonium-210 that can be purchased on the internet (for schools and hobbiests), it comes as a sealed source. Not the sort that would be suitable for murder without a lot of skilled work. I would expect that there would be other more easily available materials for that purpose so I think that it is unlikely that this was the source...

Answer 3

No way... Putin had no cause to have him killed, but many individual members of the West's widespread Russian mafia of criminals most certainly do. The so-called "expertise" in killing him is no big deal either - lots of Russian mafia bosses are ex KGB anyway, and they would know as well as anyone how best to 'Frame' Putin. Especially in Britain, a sad little country still as determined as ever to seize every opportunity to paint the Russian nation as one of the "Bad Guys"...!!! One way or another, seems to me a lot of Brits just never can get enough of brown-nosing the USA...

Answer 4

Polonium-210 is easily and cheaply available, in a gadget sold for photographers and labs to control dust and static electricity. Called 'Staticmaster' it contains a polonium-210 insert that can be renewed as the radioactivity declines. A replacement insert for the one-inch brush costs about twenty bucks.

The brush has abundant warnings about avoiding contact or ingestion of the polonium-210. It would seem easy enough, even if also risky business, to grind up the insert and extract the active material...

There are zillions of these things out there, and even years later, though the radioactivity has diminished to where they are useless for their intended purpose, they are still potentially lethal.

Here is a website of just one supplier online. The Staticmaster used to be a standard item in photographic supply shops -- I haven't looked for one for twenty plus years, perhaps they still are.

Answer 6

Another conspiracy theory, do you have proof it was Putin who ordered it, or even the Russian government, after all he had been here several months, plenty of time for the British to find out all his secrets, so why would the Russians want him dead?

Answer 7

Woo hoo.... be careful what you suggest and who you accuse... if they can get Polonium 210 on the net for $65, you could be next on the list.... and they know where you live you know!!! ;)

Answer 8

You are taking the word of a dead spy? Why don't you wait for the results of the investigation. This is what I call a misguided statement.

Answer 9

might have been the marketing man for the bond film on his last chance ,**** or bust move, excellent timing.
as for its sale on the Internet if this is correct id worry about it falling into the hands of criminals as much as terrorists. scary stuff

Answer 10

We have to worry abuot every thing nowadays. I'd worry about the government and what theyr'e developing.
