Talk:Death of a Dissident

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article states that "It follows from the book that FSB received a direct order from Russian President Vladimir Putin to kill Alexander Litvinenko". This sounds almost as if the authors had direct proof of Putin ordering the murder.

Actually, the natural scientist Alex Goldfarb and Ms. Litvinenko state that there is no immediate proof that Putin gave the order to kill Mr. Litvinenko. Though the authors do also state that access to Polonium 210 (the murder weapon) is impossible without knowledge of Kreml leaders. (Po210 is generated at a state institute).

So, if you read the book, please correct this as more appropriate.Biophys 19:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
