Second Russian expects to be named as Litvinenko suspect

A Russian who met Alexander Litvinenko in London with the man British authorities accuse of murdering the former KGB spy said in an interview broadcast tonight that he could also be accused.

Dmitry Kovtun expressed solidarity with Andrei Lugovoi, the Russian businessman British authorities want to prosecute in Litvinenko’s poisoning, saying the accusations against him were groundless and suggesting they were politically motivated.
