Britain suggests Russia is behind latest Novichok nerve agent case

10 July 2018 — 7:04am

British officials have said that a couple who were sickened this month in the Salisbury area, one of whom died Sunday, had been poisoned with the same powerful nerve agent used in March, a few kilometres away, against a former Russian spy and his daughter.

But while government officials have accused the Kremlin of responsibility for the first poisonings, until Monday they refrained from assigning blame for the second, though they acknowledged a strong possibility that the two were related.

((("The simple reality is that Russia has committed an attack on British soil which has seen the death of a British citizen,"))) the defence minister, Gavin Williamson, said in the House of Commons. "That is something that I think (((the world will unite with us in actually condemning.")))

…when asked directly if Russia was responsible for the latest poisonings, he said it was hard to see any "other plausible explanation.
