ANOTHER MURDER WHICH WILL PROBABLY NOT BE A DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT. In the first week of this blog I posted here about a murder committed by the Russian government by means of plutonium poisoning. I quoted an article from the New York Times: ““All the while, diplomats scurried to prevent the case from becoming an international incident.” I had asked Mary Jane: “What are diplomats good for? She answered, “You just said it. To scurry.”
Now, the Russian government has committed another murder by poison in an English town. Here is the story in the London Times.
I chose to say that the Russian government committed these crimes despite the fact that this is at an early stage of the investigation. One of the motives for the murders seems to be to commit them openly and notoriously. The methods chosen are intended to be open and notorious.
