Alexander Litvinenko believes that Vladimir Putin murdered him:

Poisoned ex-spy accuses Putin from beyond grave

LONDON (Reuters) - An ex-KGB spy accused Vladimir Putin of his murder in a statement read out on Friday after his death from radiation poisoning, but the Russian president brushed off the accusation as "political provocation".

British authorities said large quantities of polonium 210, a radioactive isotope, had been discovered in Alexander Litvinenko's body. Police were studying how it got there and experts searched for traces of it at several locations.

"You may succeed in silencing one man. But a howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life," the ex-spy said in a statement read out by friends in front of the London hospital where he died overnight of organ failure.

"May God forgive you for what you have done, not only to me but to beloved Russia and its people."

I see. Is Putin paranoid or something like that?

He's an ex KGB officer himself, so he most probably is.

The Russians also tried to poison the Ukrainian candidate for precident, Victor Yuschenko, two years ago.

I wonder how many others have been poisoned and We don't know about in the end.

Yes, they poisoned him with dioxin.

After seeing Mr. Yushchenko's deformed face on the evening news, the Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer contacted the Rudolfinerhaus to test some of Yushchenko's blood at the Free University of Amsterdam for dioxin. According to Dr Michael Zimpfer, president of the Rudolfinerhaus, these tests provided conclusive evidence that Yushchenko's condition resulted from "high concentrations of dioxin, most likely orally administered". This hypothesis had already been suggested by British toxicologist John Henry of St. Mary's Hospital in London, as the marks on Yushchenko's face are chloracne, a characteristic symptom of dioxin poisoning. Other scientists suggested that the illness might have been the result of rosacea but this theory failed to account for the severe internal medical problems suffered by Yushchenko. On December 11, Austrian doctors confirmed Yushchenko was poisoned with TCDD dioxin, and has more than 1,000 times (other sources say 6,000 times) the usual concentration in his body [2]. This is the second highest dioxin level ever measured in a human. Yushchenko's chief of staff Oleg Ribachuk has suggested that the poison used was a mycotoxin called T-2, also known as "Yellow Rain", a Soviet-era substance which was reputedly used in Afghanistan as a chemical weapon.

Look at what it did to his face:

Yes, it's scary. I wonder who did it.

Still, I'm more scared of Bush than Putin.

He will have no choice. There can be no "coup" in this land, except over several generations as the socialists are doing.

Wow.  Here's another article about it:

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/01122006/323/new-radiation-victim-confirmed-russian-spy-affair.html

"Tests have established that a further person -- who was in direct and very close contact with Mr Litvinenko has a significant quantity of the radioactive isotope Polonium-210 (Po-210) in their body," it said Friday.

"This person is now to be investigated further in hospital."

An HPA spokesman said the quantity of Polonium-210 was "likely to be of concern for their immediate health," it added, without naming the new victim.

But SKY News identified him as Italian academic Mario Scaramella, who had met Litvinenko at a sushi restaurant shortly before the Russian fell ill on November 1.

Sky News said the Italian had not yet shown any symptoms of contamination, but said he would now face extensive medical tests.

Scaramella, who has been under police guard at a London safe house, claimed he met Litvinenko to tell him both their names were on a Russian secret services hit list.

Some have accused Scaramella of having a role in the poisoning case, but he has denied involvement.

Yeah if there is one there has to be two or more.
