BREAKING NEWS: Russian businessman in spy poisoning investigation is in a coma

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

LONDON - Russian businessman Dmitry Kovtun, a key figure in the poisoning investigation of ex-security agent Alexander Litvinenko, is in a coma, a Russian news agency reported Thursday.

The Interfax news agency, citing unnamed sources, said Kovtun fell into a coma immediately after being questioned by Russian investigators and Scotland Yard detectives. "By the doctors' diagnosis, Kovtun's condition is critical," Interfax quoted the sources as saying.

The news came hours after Britain's Health Protection Agency said seven employees at a London hotel tested positive for “low levels” of the highly radioactive polonium-210.

This worries me as this is some highly radioactive junk, and nobody had a clue that it was in the air teminals or on any airplanes until they diagnosed the first victim..

Is this all giving someone ideas on how to get radioactive material into the US, because apparently nobody is monitoring radiation levels anywhere in airports..

It wasn't in the US. I get your drift though. I think the only place they claim to be monitoring is shipping ports.

What are they waiting for?

It's time for Tom Cruise's IMF team and England's 007 to get on it. Putin's in a world of ****, now!

None of this is shocking. Remember that politician who was poisoned by his opponent? Something that cratered his face really bad?

Where was that? I have a mental picture of the guy before and after, but can't remember the exact details.
