Dead Russian spy to be buried as a Muslim
2006-12-04
Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian intelligence agent poisoned in London, is to be buried according to Muslim tradition after converting to Islam on his deathbed. The spy's father, Walter Litvinenko, said in an interview published today that his son - who was born an Orthodox Christian but had close links to Islamist rebels in Chechnya - made the request as he lay dying in University College Hospital.

"He said Â’I want to be buried according to Muslim traditionÂ’," Mr Litvinenko told Moscow's Kommersant daily. "I said, Â’Well son, as you wish. We already have one Muslim in our family - my daughter is married to a Muslim. The important thing is to believe in the Almighty. God is one.Â’"

#4  Litvinenko's affiliation with the Chechen terrorists has been obvious for a long time.
Among other things, he was a conspiracy theorist on the same level as the lunatics who claim that 9-11 was an inside job. He wrote a book claiming that the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings, which set off the latest round of the Chechen war, were in fact the work of the KGB. He also alleged that the 2002 Moscow theatre siege was another false flag operation, despite extensive documentation of the dead terrorists' identitites, most notably by the Chechen jihad itself.
Like the 9-11 conspira-lies, these claims have a following in the west's elite media-culture circles. A Michael Moore style film about the Moscow apartment bombings ("Disbelief") premiered at the Sundance film festival in 2004.

Personally, I don't know who killed him, but conspiracist terror-tools the world over may finally be seeing the chickens come home to roost.
Cause---> effect.

#3  This is starting to sound like a 'work accident'. Or maybe an 'on purpose' designed to look like one. What if Litvinenko was actually trying to procure or supply ingredients for a dirty bomb to Chechen terrorists and Pooty found out - what better way to handle damage control?
