Mi5/Mi6 foil Berezovsky assassination attempt

"Mi5/Mi6 foil Berezovsky assassination attempt" yeah right! More like it didn't suit them at the time for him to be killed. He'll get a bullet as soon as He is no use to the British.

You've been involved in intelligence circles?

nope, he just watched both bourne movies last night.

i agree, wtf, polonium? why didn't they just zap with a lazer beam from a sattelite using the world largest diamond while gobbling up nasa and cssp shuttles?

cue Babs Streisand with the new James Bond theme tune....

Might I suggest...

"Obscene-oh Royal"?

Don't tell me the Queen's involved as well....

[zakalwe]

nope, the failed french socialist candidate, upon orders from the supreme soviet who are biding their time to reveal that russia is still under communist rule!

The FSB sure made a right haimes of getting rid of Litvinenko... they couldn't have drawn more attention to themselves if they'd tried... Polonium??? wtf? Surely a good old fashioned heart attack or even a traffic accident would have done the trick...?

But no... they had to go all headline grabbing James Bond style... who'd ha thunk it...?

All this media attention seems to favour Berezovsky and his supposed desire for the reins of Russia....
What's in it for Putin?

I'm shocked too.

To think that the British Intelligence Services who did the world a great deed in finding WMD in Iraq would get rid of someone who eventually becomes no use to them is without doubt one of the most ridiculous things ever posted on politics.ie.

I used to work for the Dutch Secret Police- essentially, our job was to see that anti-marijuana politicians got elected in Europe in order to safeguard the Coffee Shops of Amsterdam.
As for this Putin thing, he is a crook, as is Berezovsky. This will do damage to Russia's international reputation, but they have the bomb and ************************loads of natural resources, so there is nothing that can be done about it.

This is very odd.
Everyone knows Putin is the prime candidate for having the last dude executed. Then he goes and brazenly tries to execute another guy?
Sounds a bit blunt and obvious to me. Could someone be trying to discredit Putin?

Putin isn't a democrat and has been behaving in an increasingly erratic manner. This is the guy who has threatened to cut off oil and gas supplies to countries that oppose him. At this stage I think anything is possible with him.
