Alexander Litvinenko died in London

Alexander Litvinenko, former employee of the Federal Security Bureau (FSB) has died in London. The fact was reported by representatives of the University College Hospital (UCH) of London, where Alexander Litvinenko was treated for the last three weeks of his life.

London police has stated that "runs an investigation into what has happened and considers the death as inexplicable."

Alexander Goldfarb, Litvinenko's close friend, has read out his application, which, as Mr. Goldfarb asserted, the ex-officer had signed when understood that he could soon die. In the document, Litvinenko laid the blame for what had happened with him on the Russian authorities and personally on the president of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Centre of Extreme Journalism informs.

"If we go on watching it silently in the philistine, the regime will reach all of us," the BBC quotes Walter Litvinenko, Alexander's father.

"Since Litvinenko originated from special agencies and had rather strained relations with them, the suspicion is first of all on the FSB, where they never forgive deserters," journalist Akram Murtazaev, editor of Litvinenko's "FSB Blows up Russia" asserts.

"The mystery of Russian power is hidden in Chechen events, and if we suppose that he was indeed poisoned from here, from the Kremlin, it was only because has come too close to the key to the mystery," Ruslan Martagov, consultant of the "Anti-Terror" Foundation, thinks.

It is remarkable that Chechen separatists assert in one of their sites that Litvinenko entered Islam not long before his death.

On November 1, Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in one of London restaurants during a meeting with his informant Mario Skaramella. Litvinenko told that Skaramella handed over to him certain documents, which contained data about the killers of journalist Anna Politkovskaya.
