Six Irish to be tested over polonium

The HSE has confirmed that they are to test six Irish citizens in relation to the recent Polonium-210 incident in London.

The substance was used to poison ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London last month.

The HSE said the tests were being carried out as a precaution and in line with good public health practice after they had received details from UK authorities about the individuals.

The executive said it will carry out the tests in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII).

Irish guests sought in Litvinenko case

Six Irish people who stayed in a top London hotel the same time Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned are being sought by officials, it emerged today.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said it has located four of the six names given by UK officials earlier today and will continue to trace the whereabouts of the remaining two.

Hundreds of guests and customers who were in the Millennium Hotel and its bar on November 1st are being offered tests to determine if they have been contaminated with radiation.

A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs stressed that the tests are precautionary, but that those contacted will be urged to call health chiefs in the UK as well as their own GP and local health authority.

1. Too bad depleted uranium doesn't get this much press

The pollonium operations seem to be ongoing, as if Putin were this clumsly or stupid. Chalabis security company working in conjunction with the anti putin plutocrats are my suspects. It appears as if the western intelligence agencies/media are conducting a cover up much as they did during the anthrax operations and the July 7 bombings.

3. A good point

but considering that the US and Israel are the ones that routinely use DU munitions on civilians, you won't hear anyone complaining about its use.

2. What a way to bring attention to yourself, a poison that leaves a long trail!

I don't know whether this is a James Bond story or a Marx Brothers caper.

4. the trail has to get longer and longer

...because initially it led directly to the chief suspect.

5. C'mon, Bush vouches for Putin

since he looked into his eyes.

6. Of course he didn't know what the blue glow was. nt

7. Bush thought it was Putin's soul

Perhaps he needs to look into those polonium-210 eyes again!

8. Actually I was referring to Berezovsky, the criminal plutocrat

...sorry to be so vague.
