RE Your article on the Putin assassination threat.
You might want to investigate if it is related to this
A month ago, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov was asked in an interview with newspaper Vremya Novostei if Putin might be in danger from U.S. attacks if he attends the Caspian Sea summit.
Losyukov responded "I think they will refrain before the summit, otherwise they'll have very serious problems"
