Russia linked Britain’s demand for Mr Lugovoy’s extradition to the refusal by Britain to hand over Boris Berezovsky, the exiled billionaire, and Akhmed Zakayev, the Chechen envoy. Both men are wanted in Russia but have been granted political asylum by British courts.

“It seems to us that London’s position is immoral, given this background,” Mr Kamynin said. He added that Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, had expressed this view in a telephone conversation with Mr Miliband. The Kremlin is seeking to take the moral high ground, accusing Britain of trying to force Russia to break its constitution.

I think it is more the fact that they poisoned him with plutonium or something like that with traces of it all over London, so endangering the public.

if they had just shot him or something there would have been an uproar but it would have been forgotten.

I think we are missing the point here the man was a British citizen just like you or I and those BASTARDS came over here and murdered him and could well have caused many other deaths with their sly tactics I really hope MI5 get the murdering git.
