Some of the emergency workers who went to the scene in Salisbury, England, where the victims were found also took ill, and one police officer is in a serious condition in the hospital.
Authorities in Britan have confirmed that a former Russian spy and his daughter were poisoned by a nerve agent in England this week, in what is now being considered an assassination attempt by a national government (AKA: Russia.)
As you remember, in 2006, Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian agent was fatally poisoned in London with a rare radioactive metal and an official inquiry concluded that he was murdered by Russian operatives under Putin’s orders.
“This is being treated as a major incident involving attempted murder by administration of a nerve agent,” said Mark Rowley, Britain’s chief police official for counterterrorism and international security.
