Deathbed Conversion?

Funny, Litvinenko didn't look muslim. It appears that the Russian price tag for practicing taquiya is rather steep. That or there was a 'workplace mishap' involved.

I'm not sure which possibility is more unsettling. Silencing separatists via radiation poisoning seems a bit much but the thought of fifth column Chechnyan's wandering around London with polonium in their pockets seems like a plot device that even Ian Fleming would have rejected as too outlandish.

Funny how that conversion datum was buried at the back of a long article; couldn't have any bearing on the case.
