Ex-Russian Spy and daughter critical after being poisoned in Salisbury
 
Quote:
The woman found slumped on a shopping centre bench alongside a former Russian agent convicted of spying for Britain is his daughter, it has emerged.

Yulia Skripal, in her 30s, and father Sergei, 66, are critically ill in hospital after being found unconscious in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on Sunday.

UK police are trying to find out what "unknown substance" harmed the pair.

A number of emergency services workers were assessed immediately after the incident - and one remains in hospital.

Russia insists it has "no information" on what could have led to the incident, but says it is open to co-operate in the police investigation if requested.

A forensic tent covers the area where the couple were found
Former agent Mr Skripal, whose wife, son and older brother have all died in the past two years, was granted refuge in the UK following a "spy swap" in 2010.

Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, told journalists that Moscow was prepared to help with the investigation.

"We see this tragic situation but we don't have information on what could have led to this, what he was engaged in," he said.

Police are currently examining CCTV footage, filmed by a Salisbury gym, showing an unidentified man and woman walking near to the location where Mr Skripal and his daughter were found.

Its a mad world indeed...where was jeremy at the time?

Putin is murdering his political enemies left, right and centre, inside Russia and outside. And nobody seems to do anything to punish him.
Wonder what the poison of choice it is this time. Something faster than polonium that's for sure. Does he pick and choose how lingering the death should be? Or is it merely a matter of convenience? Nah, I think he chooses. Litvinienko murder could have been so much quicker and "cleaner" otherwise.

Indeed.

Or Berezovsky's "suicide". How they managed that I have no idea.

we know nothing of the circumstances yet. When the background to the story includes that his wife, elder brother and son have all died within the last 2 years, something sure isn't right.

Well I'm glad he's out, though people who have survived this nerve agent in the past have died from related diseases later :(

Britain had stores of the Novichok nerve agent before the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal, the Russian ambassador to London has claimed. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8268541.html

So far we have nothing more than prima facia evidence. I guess that's enough for some people.

Trump expels 60 Russian diplomats over Salisbury spy poisoning - as Europe follows

https://news.sky.com/story/live-trum...oning-11304952


60 a big number

jaxie 26-03-2018 02:00 PM
Well at least they are supporting us. This is a very serious issue, whether it was state sponsored or not it is an attack on another country with chemical weapons that Russia shouldn't have in the first place.
