Terroristic act 2006.11.01

According to reports, in 2006, Vladimir Putin and Nikolai Patrushev had planned the terroristic act against the UK and, in particular, against the UK citizen Aleksandr Litvinenko. The attack had been performed by Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun. .

The nuclear weapon, namely, isotope Po–210 had been used for the attack. This weapon had been manufactured and sold to the terrorists by the administration of the Avangard Sarov (Авангард Саров) nuclear facility.

The KGB agents Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun had performed the attack 2006.11.01, poisoning Aleksandr Litvinenko and contaminating with the same isotope many places.

It is believed, that Vladimir Putin and Nikolai Patrushev did inform neither Andrei Lugovoi nor Dmitrii Kovtun about the kind of weapon they use; both Lugovoi and Kovtun could think, that this is ordinary murder with ordinary poison. Perhaps, Putin and Patrushev had expected that both, Lugovoi and Kovtun die of the same isotope, as the amount user exceeded the legal dose for many orders of magnitude. In particular, is is reported, that Andrei Lugovoi still had significant amount of that isotope on his body and his staff, when he visited the UK Embassy at Moscow, where he came to negate his participation in that murder. .

Motives of terrorists

It is believed, that Litvinenko used to work for KGB in century 20, but then realised the anti–Russian, terroristic profile of activity of that organisation and stopped the collaboration with KGBists.

Then, the murder of Litvinenko appears as continuation of tradition of KGBists to kill their ex–employees.

In addition, the terrorists could afraid of publications of new documents about criminal activity of KGB.

Corruption

Concept that Vladimir Putin, Nikolai Patrushev, Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun had used the nuclear weapon against the UK citizen Aleksandr Litvinenko is in good agreement with more general concepts about terror as main profile of activity of the KGB and total corruption of the Russian administration.
