Russian military used Litvinenko photos in target practice

The head of a private centre in Russia that trains the country’s special forces today admitted that photographs of exiled former spy Alexander Litvinenko had been used during target shooting practice.

Sergei Lysyuk, head of the Vityaz Centre, said a shooting competition had been hosted but he had been unaware at the time that the photo on the target was Litvinenko, who was later fatally poisoned in London.
