Like spy games and international espionage? This should be interesting to you...

A top British official says that the British government is fully convinced that the Russian government played a direct role in the killing of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko.

Looks like the rift between Russia and the west continues to widen.

Yes, I remember hearing that also, but I think it was from his widow earlier on.  She created a huge fuss, insisting the government was behind his death.

There has been 'rumors' of the soviets having used radioactive agents as poisons.  Just as there have been 'rumors' that Former President Bill Clinton got a blow job in the oval office.

Lets face it, the idea of using nuclear poisons have been around for years, hell it has been a plot tool in a few movies, a couple of decent novels, and one gawd awful tv series.  And of course, let us not forget LOCI.

Now personally, I kind of like the umbrella gun, nice small pellet, quick poison and bingo.

Another good one was concentrated bee venom.  Although, a person dieing with what appears to be 2000 times the normal injection of bee venom might look a wee bit suspicious.

Another experimental toxin was pure H2O2, but it was too corrosive.  There are a number of compounds that will induce a heart attack, but the target has to have a history of heart disease.

Now personally, I still have to go with the tried and true high power rifle from an elevated perch, about 700 meters out, maybe four or five floors up.... put the target in a park so there are a good number of high rise buildings covering a 30 degree arc from the front of the target, so you actually have time to clear the area before some cop or intel guy shows up.

Of course, if you REALLY want to make a statement, you could paint the subject with a laser and let someone like DA put a pair of smart missiles in the subjects lap.
