Was ex-spy trying to sell dirty bomb?


The plot sickens...

The radiation spy scandal took a sensational twist last night with the revelation that KGB defector Alexander Litvinenko had converted to Islam before he died.


Scotland Yard detectives are now trying to discover if he had any secret links with Islamic extremist terror groups.


Their biggest fear is that the former Soviet spy, who died of polonium-210 poisoning in a London hospital, may have been helping Al Qaeda terrorists or other extremist groups get hold of radioactive material to be used in a devastating “dirty” atom bomb.


The news comes on top of a claim by Litvinenko’s friend Mario Scaramella that the former spy helped smuggle radioactive material from Russia to Switzerland in 2000.


Litvinenko’s sympathies with Chechen rebels, seeking to break away from Moscow and create an independent Muslim state, are well known.


And when Chechen rebels were blamed for a massive bomb attack in 1999 that destroyed a Moscow block of flats with the loss of 400 lives, Litvinenko enraged Russian President Vladimir Putin with his claim that the Russian leader himself ordered the attack in a bid to damage the Chechen cause.


Counterterrorism officers will now be scrutinising any possible Muslim links which could have assisted Al Qaeda’s avowed aim to detonate a radioactive bomb in America or Britain.


Litvinenko’s conversion to Islam was a closely guarded secret and came as a complete shock to his close Russian friends in Britain.


The shock admission came from his next-door neighbour, moderate Muslim and Chechen dissident Akhmed Zakayev, who revealed: “He was read to from the Koran the day before he died and told his wife that he wanted to be buried in accordance with Muslim tradition.”


Despite the claim, a statement written by Litvinenko shortly before he died referred to “God”, not “Allah” and said he could hear the beating of angel’s wings, leading most people to infer he was a Christian.

This one almost got by me...in my sadness at the death of a former spy supposedly at the orders of Vladimir Putin I forgot that Litvinenko was first a spy and secondly probably acted like a spy to the end. And why wouldn't a high-level espionage agent, Chechen sympathizer and possible convert to Islam end up poisoning himself in an attempt to help with a British or American Hiroshima?

If this rumour holds true then it is closer than we think...
