It turns out that the ex-KGB colonel who was nearly assassinated in London wasn't just poisoned with thallium, but with what may be radioactive thallium.That's like tearing off a man's head and spitting down his neck. I suspect that he must have really cheesed off the wrong people back home.
Update: It was Polonium 210. Not exactly the sort of thing that you find just lying around the potting shed.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
