The only connection might be is that you can dismantle four or five
anti-static brushes and get enough Polonium 210 to do the job.

But... SWhat an incredible plot!
The Alexander Litvinenko affair is turning into such a complex spy-
vs-spy story that even the best of John LeCarré pales in comparison.
What? In these days and age where the easiest thing to do is to
get a gun and kill people, why would someone with an incredibly
complicated mind decide to murder a former KGB spy with the most
complicated method of all: a totally obscure radioactive substance
that his normally fairly harmless unless absorbed internally. In
which case death is inevitable after several weeks of highly
visible collateral damages...
Here are a few unanswered questions which linger in my mind:
-- Why would someone in their right mind want to use such an
incredibly / repeat incredibly / difficult substance to acquire and
such an incredibly complex method to kill?
-- Why did Litvinenko not dictate all / repeat all / its covert
knowledge to a public writer in order to make good for his murder?
-- Why did it take so long before Litvinenko's russian contacts
Kovtun and Lugovoi begin to also show radioactive poisonning?
-- Why is it that italian contact Scaramella claimsd that he
received his dose and has so far shown little evidence of radiation
poisonning?
So long folks... Good night and good luck (as someone might have
said...)
