Exclusive:
Alexander Litvinenko

Death of a spy

By Gordon Thomas

Saturday, November 25, 2006

MI6 believe the Polonium 210, which killed former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, could have come from China. It is one of the few countries – the United States is another – with the specialist laboratory to produce Polonium 210 as a deadly weapon. It is normally used in the Chinese space programme.

MI6 agents in Moscow believe a minute quantity of Polonium 210 was given to Russia's Federal Intelligence Service, FSB, by the Chinese Secret Intelligence Service.

The FSB has a specialist unit, Department "S" (Special Operations), that is now thought to have carried out the murder of Litvinenko.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, worked in Directorate S before he became chief of the KGB. During that time he developed close ties with Chinese intelligence.

Oleg Gordievsky, a former London station chief of the KGB before he defected to this country in 1985, claimed last week Litvinenko could not have been murdered "without the express approval of the president".

A former director of Department S, Alexander Kouzminov, said: "The killing could only have been carried out by operatives of Department S secretly deployed in the West. They have assumed names and well-prepared cover stories and often masquerade as citizens of Western countries".

He claimed the new poison could have entered Britain through "the Volna Channel. This highly secret route, often using diplomatic channels, had been set up in Putin's KGB days to transport biological materials to a country where they were to be used".
