Litvinenko Killed Due to Dossier?


Former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko (pictured) may have been killed because he compiled a dossier on a very important Russian official. The information is thought to have been collected by Litvinenko for a British company that was considering a big business deal with a Russian company linked to the high ranking Kremlin member.

Meanwhile, Litvinenko's father says that Putin ordered his son's death to intimidate others who might have sensitive information. Others are calling Russia a terrorist regime for their history of political killings.

I hope that this story continues to be investigated fully. There is a lot of suggestion that this goes all the way to the top of the Russian government. Then again, it could all be unsubstantiated rumor. Either way, I think it is important to know what happened. If Putin really authorized or was involved, then he should be condemned by foreign governments.
