#3 Sky News: Radiation Hits Second Man
Mario Scaramella was found to have isotope Polonium-210 in his body.

He had lunch with ex-security agent Alexander Litvinenko, at the Itsu sushi restaurant in London's Picadilly, shortly before he fell ill.

Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said Mr Scaramella has not shown the same symptoms as Mr Litvinenko, 43, who suffered vomiting and loss of hair.

The Health Protection Agency confirmed the Italian has a "significant quantity" isotope in his body.

Reuters has.

Is that subtle irony or are you implying Reuters is a reliable news group?

#8 a not entirely unexpected development. my only question was why did Scaramella even make any public appearance / comment re: Litvinenko?
not that it probably would have made any difference to the final outcome, but as soon as he started talking he was already a dead man.
