Russian Spy Filmed in his last hours

"The Bastards Got me, They won't get us all"

London Independent Front Page. A Filmaker and friend of Litvinenko filmed
a final cut of the Spy's defiance after he was poisoned allegedly by a cocktail
of lethal radioactive materials used in the Russian Space Programme.

The spy was involved in exposing the Kremlin's connection in a series of explosions
at apartment blocks in 1999- which led to Vladimir Putin's ascent to power.

He was attacked in Central London and ingested something on the first of November.

Mr Blair's G8 ally has not responded to allegations of poisoning.
Mr Litvinenko had a massive heart attack on wednesday, the film-maker and
friend who filmed the fil said that he had detiorated massively and doctors
remain baffled at the speed on virulence at the poison used.

RIP.
