Polonium Found In Another London Restaurant

From BBC News:


The radioactive element believed to have killed ex-Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko has been detected in another central London restaurant.

Polonium-210 was found at the Pescatori Restaurant in Mayfair and staff are being tested, health officials said.

The police had asked the Health Protection Agency to monitor the establishment as it was "linked to the Litvinenko police investigation".

A total of 12 people in London have now tested positive for radioactivity.

Meanwhile over at 60 Minutes lalaland they are airing a segment in which some Russian "writer" name of Julia Svetlichnaya claims the late Mr. Litvinenko was blackmailing some Russian "oligarch" and the widow says "Sasha" wouldn't do that and someone on the Comments says Julia has been outed as a Russian spy by the Norwegians and nobody is discussing why $10 million worth of suitcase bomb trigger was allegedly used to whack Mr. Lit when a bullet to the back of the head would have done just as nicely and not left polonium 210 traces all over Europe.

Thanks for summing it up so well, RRA. I'm not very happy about how this story is being portrayed in the media, obviously.

RevereRidesAgain,

By the way, what is your source that $10 million in Polonium was used. I've heard this, but I don't have a source.
