Update on British Airways Radiation Probe, Possible Poisoning of Gaidar

British Airways is reporting that possibly four of its airliners have been contaminated with low-levels of radiation in the latest update of the probe into the radiation poisoning death of Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. British officials are also reporting that up to 33,000 passengers and 3000 personnel may have been impacted by the radiation found on board the planes.

In yet another intriguing twist, physicians in Moscow are now saying that former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar may have been poisoned. Gaidar is seriously ill in a Moscow hospital after becoming sick in Dublin. The mystery illness produced violent bouts of vomiting and bleeding. Medical personnel say that since they have been unable to determine a natural cause for the illness, everything points to poisoning by an unnatural agent.

British officials have identified at least 12 sites in London that contain levels of radioactivity.

Thus, the saga continues. There is no doubt that a common thread connects all of these incidents. The world awaits the result of this investigation.
