Putin ‘Probably Approved’ Litvinenko Poisoning, British Inquiry Says

LONDON — In the dank, dark days of November 2006, as Alexander V. Litvinenko, a former K.G.B. officer turned foe of the Kremlin, lay dying in a London hospital, he and his associates composed a deathbed missive to President Vladimir V. Putin.
In the letter, Mr. Litvinenko said he could hear “the beating of wings of the angel of death” and blamed Mr. Putin for his plight. But, he told the Russian leader, “the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life.”
The echo could be heard Thursday with the release of the final report of a lengthy public inquiry into Mr. Litvinenko’s death. It was probable, said the report, by a retired judge, Sir Robert Owen, that Mr. Putin and his spy chief at the time, Nikolai Patrushev, had approved an operation to kill Mr. Litvinenko, using a highly toxic and rare isotope, polonium 210.
“Strong circumstantial evidence of Russian state responsibility,” the judge wrote, had led him to the conclusion that Mr. Litvinenko was indeed poisoned when he met Andrei K. Lugovoi, a former K.G.B bodyguard, and Dmitri V. Kovtun, a Red Army deserter, for tea in the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel in London on Nov. 1, 2006.

The polonium that was used to poison Mr. Litvinenko, the judge said, had probably come from a Russian reactor, and he said there were “powerful motives for organizations and individuals within the Russian state to take action” against the former K.G.B. officer.
Though Sir Robert’s 328-page report, more than nine years after the poisoning, cited no hard evidence that Mr. Putin or Mr. Patrushev had been aware of the plot to kill Mr. Litvinenko or had sanctioned it, the conclusions were the most damning official links between Mr. Litvinenko’s death and the highest levels of the Kremlin.

“Taking full account of all the evidence and analysis available to me,” Sir Robert said in the report, referring to the Russian security service, “I find that the F.S.B. operation to kill Mr. Litvinenko was probably approved by Mr. Patrushev and also by President Putin.”
The report was more emphatic when it came to how Mr. Litvinenko died.

Sir Robert based his conclusions on public testimony from 64 witnesses and secret evidence in closed hearings, placing an imprimatur on what had been previously dismissed in Russia as speculation.

Sir Robert on Thursday listed various possible motives for Mr. Litvinenko’s assassination, including a belief among Russian security officials that the former officer had betrayed the F.S.B. and had begun to work for British intelligence after he fled to Britain in 2000. Mr. Litvinenko was also a close associate of prominent opponents of the Kremlin based in London, including Boris A. Berezovsky, a former oligarch and enemy of Mr. Putin’s who died in 2013, the report said.
Mr. Putin and Mr. Litvinenko, both veterans of the K.G.B., served in its successor agency, the F.S.B., or Federal Security Service, with Mr. Putin going on to lead that intelligence agency.

As the deathbed letter, read to journalists, had forecast, the “howl of protest” arose anew on Thursday, with Mr. Litvinenko’s widow, Marina, demanding the expulsion of Russian spies from Britain and targeted economic sanctions against Mr. Patrushev and Mr. Putin. Sitting beside her at a news conference, Marina Litvinenko’s lawyer, Ben Emmerson, said it would be “craven” of Prime Minister David Cameron to fail to respond to what he called “nuclear terrorism” on the streets of London.

She said the British assets of Mr. Lugovoi and Mr. Kovtun would be frozen, although she did not say how valuable those assets were. Ms. May also said the Russian ambassador would be summoned to be told of Britain’s response.

Russia on Thursday responded to the judge’s report, calling the inquiry politicized and saying it was not public at all.
“We regret that the strictly criminal case has been politicized and has darkened the general atmosphere of bilateral relations,” said Maria Zakharova, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman in Moscow, the Russian news agency Interfax reported.
Mr. Lugovoi, now a member of Parliament in Russia and the recipient of a medal from Mr. Putin, said the accusation that he had poisoned Mr. Litvinenko was “absurd,” Interfax reported, and a Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said the Litvinenko case “is not among the topics that interest us.”
The British police have accused Mr. Lugovoi and Mr. Kovtun of murder, charges they deny, and Russia has refused to extradite them, saying such a move is banned by its Constitution.
The authorities in Britain have said traces of the isotope left by the two men created a so-called polonium trail for investigators to follow once scientists had identified the toxic substance used to poison Mr. Litvinenko. The trail led through airplane seats and hotel rooms, offices and restaurants, even a soccer stadium.
Sir Robert wrote in his report that he believed that the two men knew they were using a deadly poison, but he suggested that they might not have been aware “precisely what the chemical that they were handling was, or the nature of all its properties.”
The inquiry, which began almost a year before the final report was released, had been initiated after dogged efforts by Ms. Litvinenko to press for a full accounting of her husband’s death.

Except Obama wasn't born in Kenya, and anyone SANE(which lets you out) knows that with 100% certainty. Britain will be imposing sanctions based on their findings, so even though the reports says probably, the facts are more certain than that.

[h=3]Cameron: 'We have to go on having some sort of relationship with Russia'[/h] David Cameron has accused Russia of carrying out a “state-sponsored” murder of Alexander Litvinenko, writes Tom Whitehead.
In response to the public inquiry’s conclusion that President Vladimir Putin and the FSB “probably” sanctioned the assassination, Mr Cameron said: “What happened was absolutely appalling and this report confirms what we've always believed, and what the last Labour government believed at the time of this dreadful murder, which is it was state sponsored action."
But he was forced to defend his Government’s response to the report, which has been criticised as too weak.
“What we’ve added today, rightly, is further asset freezes, writing again to the prosecuting authorities to see what more can be done.
“We must now read the report in its entirety and take everything into account but be in no doubt, this shocking event was reacted to years ago when it happened, and we’re toughening our action again today.”
The Prime Minister said the UK had a “pretty difficult relationship with the Russians” but that it still needed to work with it in other matters but with “clear eyes and a very cold heart”.
“We totally disapprove with what they are doing in Syria in terms of bombing the moderate opposition – that is making the situation worse not better,” he said.
“We have put sanctions in place, led the arguments in Europe for sanctions against Russia because of their illegal action in the Ukraine.
“But do we at some level have to go on having some sort of relationship with them because we need a solution to the Syria crisis – yes we do but we do it with clear eyes and a very cold heart.”
Asked if further sanctions could be taken, he said: “We will look very carefully at the report and all the detail.
“But as I say. It confirms what we always believed to be the case, and it confirms that the action we took then and the last Labour government took then, was indeed the right action.”
