Spy in turmoil- 'James Bond' style
Russian spy sent to intensive care after serious poisoning in London.
Mr. Alexander Litvinenko. A former russian spy who was poisoned with the lethal Thallium. Thallium is a substance capable of killing a person with just a small dose, with the minor effects being several organ failures, nervous system damage and hair loss. The 41 year old's disaster started on November 1st. It was reported that he had two meetings, one with another former Russian agent and the second with an Italian man. 
His meeting with the italian man was at an ITSU sushi bar in Piccadily, which was believed where he took the dose of Thallium. Eighteen days later, he felt the effects and was admitted to hospital. As many of his friends lie by his bedside, some suggest the poisoning was deliberate from the Russian government as Litvinenko was a critic of the Kremlin, however the Russian intelligence have released a statement which says that they had nothing to do with the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko. 
Scotland Yard is currently investigating this 'James Bond' scenario, possibly using their counter-terrorism group. Unfortunately, the scenes were filled with customers occupied with friends. No one has stepped forward as a witness. As his condition worsens at intensive care, he only has a 50/50 chance of living. He was investigating a Russian journalist's death. But now scotland Yard could be investigating two deaths now.
