Assassination Suspect: U.K. Has No Proof

Former Russian spy Andrei Lugovoy, who was named Thursday as a suspect in the polonium-210 poison murder of Alexander Litvinenko, called the British investigation into the crime "nonsense." An independent inquiry conducted by retired judge Sir Robert Owen found Russian President Vladimir Putin and others "probably" ordered the assassination of Litvinenko, who was an increasingly vocal Putin opponent. Lugovoy, allegedly a KGB operative, told the BBC that Owen "has clearly gone mad." He added, "The fact that such words as ‘possibly’ and ‘probably’ were used in the report means there is no proof, nothing concrete against us.” Lugovoy and another Russian man are suspected of lacing Litvinenko's pot of green tea during a meeting in London in 2006.
