Lugovoi says charges he poisoned Litvinenko ‘absurd’: Interfax

-

Russian lawmaker Andrei Lugovoi said Thursday that a British inquiry's charges that he poisoned former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006 were absurd and directed against Moscow.

"The accusations against me are absurd," Lugovoi told news agency Interfax. "The results of the inquiry made public today once again confirm London's anti-Russian stance, tunnel thinking and the unwillingness of the British to establish the true cause of Litvinenko's death."
