Meet the new KGB, just like the old KGB

The first overseas assassination the KGB undertook was that of dissident communist, Leon Trotsky with an ice pick, The use of an ice pick to kill Trotsky was an attempt at black comedy, Trotsky was killed in Mexico, there is no need for ice picks in Mexico. The latest claim of assassination is of Alexander Litvinenko, only months after another Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, was assassinated outside her apartment. Both journalists had attacked Putin’s Russia, Litvinenko in particular had linked a series of Moscow bombings used by Putin to justify a new invasion of Chechnya to ex-KGB special forces who pulled a ‘Reichstag’.

That the old bear, thought rusted and broken by age, should renew itself minus any intellectual justification as a power crazed mafia warms no one’s soul, least of all a Europe addicted to Putin’s natural gas supply.

Radioactive traces found in Russian spy death probe
LONDON - Police have found traces of a rare radioactive substance at three locations in London visited by a poisoned former KGB spy, who accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of his murder from beyond the grave.

Alexander Litvinenko died on Thursday night UK time after a three week illness that saw his hair fall out, his body waste away and his organs slowly fail. In a statement read out after his death, he accused Putin of what would be the Kremlin's first political assassination in the West since the Cold War.

"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," he said.
