The author of this article cites Litvinenko placing blame for the death of Anna Politovskaya, the Ryazan Incident of Sept. 22,1999, the 2004 Beslan Massacre and the FSB/al-Qaeda Connection on Putin and his FSB. He goes on to state that Litvinenko was murdered because he identified Ayman al-Zawahiri(al-Qaeda's #2 man) and Italy's Prime Minister Prodi as FSB agents. Litvinenko was involved in meetings with the Mitrokin Commission in Italy, which was investgating FSB connections in the Italian Government. These assertions, if true, are something we ignore at our own peril.

Does FR allow New American stuff to be posted here?

They never mention that Litvinenko had converted to Islam, nor that the family fought hard to get him a traditional Islamic funeral. I think it is imperative to include that information and to follow the trace it leaves as well. Otherwise he ends up looking like a freedom-fighting whistle-blower. But I think there is more.

Interesting.
