Today in infamy - Polonium 210 edition

One year ago today former Soviet agent Alexander Litvinenko died of poisoning in a British hospital. Mr. Litvinenko was somehow given a lethal dose of radioactive and highly toxic Polonium 210 sometime in the previous month. The extradition from Russia to the UK of the key suspect in the crime, Andrei Lugovoi - another former Soviet agent, continues to be refused by the Russian government.
