Russians heading to the UK to probe Litvinenko death

Russia will send a team of investigators to Britain to probe the poisoning death of a former KGB agent.

Russia expects full co-operation from British authorities as it investigates the death of Alexander Litvinenko, the RIA-Novosti news agency quoted Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika as saying in an interview with Rossiya state TV channel. "We have established very good, constructive working relations with the British. They came here, we gave them all possible assistance in the course of their investigation on the territory of the Russian Federation," said Chaika. lol Scotland Yard investigators who went to Russia in December were not allowed to question anyone directly, instead sitting in while Russian authorities conducted the interviews. Goldfarb on Sunday accused the Russian authorities of blocking the British investigation and pointlessly travelling to London. "This is nothing but a stunt designed to detract attention from Russia, a PR exercise to create an appearance of reciprocity," he said by telephone from London.
