Litvinenko poisoning: Russian hits out at 'lies'

The man reported to be a suspect in the murder of a former Russian agent in London hit out today at “lies, provocation and government propaganda”, denying any role in the radiation poisoning death of Alexander Litvinenko.

Andrei Lugovoi said he viewed the reports in Britain’s Guardian newspaper and Sky News that he is a suspect in the murder as an attempt by the British authorities to make up for the lack of evidence against him.
