Are the Russian novichok hitmen already DEAD? New theory claims the men may have been executed to hide traces of the crime
2018-09-11
[The Mail] Two Russians accused of launching a nerve agent attack on Britain may already be dead, a leading Vladimir Putin critic has claimed.

Andrei Piontkovsky believes that men - named by British police as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov - could have been executed to hide traces of the alleged crime.

He compared the case to that of Andrey Lugovoy and Dmitry Kovtun, the men accused by Britain of poisoning Alexander Litvinenko with polonium in 2006.

Lugovoy and Kovtun went public to deny the claims soon after being accused, meaning the Russian authorities then protected them, said Piontkovsky.

#3  How lucky for us that discussions
Not had with these two defunct Russians
Who handled the vial
Should involve no denial
To unnerve our American cousins.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world...

What the Hell is going on with the British:
Letting Korananimals act out their worst instincts.
Sabotaging Brexit.
Trying to sabotage US/Russia relations.
