British ambassador challenges Russia on Litvinenko
Britain's ambassador has issued a direct challenge to Russia over its refusal to extradite the man accused of killing Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in London.
Russia has refused to turn over former KGB officer Andrei Lugovoy on the grounds that its constitution forbids extradition of Russian citizens, but Anthony Brenton said in an interview published today that Russia could get around the ban if it wanted to co-operate.
