The man arrived in London in mid-June allegedly with orders to murder the billionaire Russian exile Boris Berezovsky, a staunch opponent of President Putin, who has been granted asylum to live in Britain.
The alleged murder plot would have been planned as Tony Blair, then the Prime Minister, held a tense meeting with Mr Putin at the G8 summit in Germany on June 8. It came in the wake of the British Government’s formal request to Russia for the extradition of Andrei Lugovoy, a former KGB operative, for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, the dissident, in London in November last year. The Russians have refused to extradite Mr Lugovoy.
He was identified as he arrived on June 16 at Heathrow and placed under round-the-clock surveillance. He checked into the Hilton hotel on Park Lane close to Mr Berezovsky’s offices in Mayfair. He was accompanied by a young boy, apparently as cover for his mission.
Five days later the suspect was arrested by officers from the Scotland Yard Counter Terrorism Command on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. He was questioned for two days but there was insufficient evidence to proceed to a prosecution.
Scotland Yard said that officers arrested a man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on June 21 and held him for two days. He was later handed over to the immigration service and deported back to Russia.

This gets even better.
Dispite the diplomatic crisis caused by Litvinenko's murder, Putin is at it again!!!
Or at least he tried this time to have Boris Berezovsky murdered. Man arrested in U.K. on mission to assassinate Berezovsky.
Make no mistake, Putin is an evil, sociopathic, Napolianic leader who I now believe will stop at nothing to secure his power and -- even more fearfully -- spread his influence by any means necessary.
Just check out this damned audacity:

I mean, Putin would have had this guy executed while smiling and shaking hands with Blair at the G8 summit. Ya'll, the implications of this are staggering. We're dealing with a world leader with nuclear weapons who is flaunting human rights and obsessed with control and power.
He's the freakin' antichrist.
Before you stand up and start shouting,acusing somebody of something because you read it in a newspaper provide some evidence please. Even if Putin did it , i greatly support his desicion a traitor spy is a dead spy , no respectful agency will allow some of its spies start giving vital info or intel to the general puplic and espesialy to the ''enemy goverment'' . So before you start believing the first line you read in todays propagandised newspaper world , do a good research over it and provide some real info about it .
Antichrist ??? No , Patriot Yes !!!

I find this so ironic. I could go on any other thread on ATS, claim my daddy's a grey-headed alien from Pluto and my mom works as an Illuminati turncoat for the NWO, and be taken seriously without anyone asking for a shred of evidence.
But I go on the conclusion based on ability and motive that Putin ordered Boris and Litvinenko's assassinations, and I get the Russian contingent out in force asking me to provide evidence.
There is serious irony here. Has it come out conclusively that Putin had this done? No, I'll admit that. But the circumstancial evidence points entirely in his direction. Look, Putin wants nothing more than unabridged power -- and a billionaire tycoon who wants to stop Putin from solidifying himself as a modern-day tsar certainly pulls a hamstring in that plan.
The entire argument I hear pro-Putin posters say is, "Well, whatever, Russia today is better off because of him; so what if Putin wants to trounce on international laws and kill dissidents left and right."
How freakin' short-sighted. Putin is creating a society in which he becomes the sole voice of anything, while dissidents of any sort are threatened, cajolled and outright killed to keep quiet.
But why should anyone be surprised. Russia simply can't break from old habits, can it? You pro-Putin forces may be rallying and cheering these actions now because the Russian economy is going so well, but the minute things start to turn sour, you'll soon realize just how totalitarian the Putin state has become again.....

Putin is a patriot of his country he is doing whatever is right to do. I do not say he is an angel but in our world these days people used to the weak Russia , Russia that they can rob or put pressure on and expect no reaction. All you people out there are doing is critising our country with the words of the same mass media that is not to be trusted . You wont understand our policy because you live on the other side , you are used to play by your rules only.
Did i say Putin did it? , do you have any REAL hard evidence that Putin did it or the Russian goverment? I do not think so. What if it is a plot against Putin , a plot placed by the tycoon Berezovsky ? what if ? And besides it is to slopy to be done by the russian secrets services , they do not look for that kind of attention at an internacional scale. You talk like you are 100% sure that the Russians did it. ''A person is innocent unless proven otherwise''
PS: You place your citizent at risk when you invade countries like Irak by breaking laws, ignoring the Puplic views ,bombing their homes, killing their citizents...etc .And the result of all this is already known to everybody(London terror attacks), Just keep in mind when there is an action there is also a reaction The problem dont have a simple answer and the answer is far more harder/unbearable than you think.
Talking about reaction the Russian goverment has reacted to the extradition of 4 russian diplomants with a mirror effect and will continue to do so until your goverment wise up and grow up.

And you're right about reaction. Russia is proving itself to be no real friend of the West as it turns out. So what reaction are you garnering? A sophisiticated anit-ballistic missile system right at your doorstep so we can keep power-crazy Putin in check.

Well if we invaded for Oil and control of the Middle East, The Iraq invasion is even more of a disaster than I thought!
I know, why don't we both agree that that the invaision of Iraq and Chechneya are both, evil, immoral and illegal acts. As for tightening our grip on Russias borders, why do that? Anyway back on topic. Lets talk about you citizens spreading radioactive contamination around London.

“There is only one man who is vocal, and he may be in trouble: [former] world chess champion [Garry] Kasparov. He has been very outspoken in his attacks on Putin, and I believe that he is probably next on the list“

The ex-general also speaks out on Russian security services participation in the apartment bombings in Moscow, which were blamed on Chechen rebels and used as a pretext to invade Chechnya. Asked whether he believes as the poisoned former security service agent Alexander Litvinenko did, that those bombings were planned, he replies positively.
