Planes tested for radiation as 12 other sites test positive
Meanwhile, one of the two Russians who met with Alexander Litvinenko on the day he fell mortally ill was on a British Airways aircraft being tested for radiation, according to one Russian newspaper.
A coroner formally opened an inquest into the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, who died on November 23 after falling ill more than three weeks earlier. It was quickly adjourned so police could continue their investigation, but three pathologists were to participate in an autopsy today at the Royal London Hospital.
