Where is James Bond when you really need him?

He certainly wasn't in a sushi bar in Piccadilly earlier this month when a former KGB officer, Alexander Litvinenko, who has been critical of Vladimir Putin was poisoned. Mr. Litvinenko is said to have a 50/50 chance of survival. Hospital tests have shown that he ingested thallium.

The Kremlin's response to suggestions that there might be official Russian involvement in the poisoning, as Mr. Litvinenko was investigating the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, is "Rubbish".
