British Police in Moscow for Litvinenko Investigation
A group of British police officers has arrived in Moscow to investigate the mysterious poisoning death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. British Home Secretary John Reid said Monday that the team of nine officers will interview witnesses who spoke to Litvinenko before he died.
It is not clear how long the police visit will last. Controversy over the death of the former spy has sparked diplomatic tensions between Britain and Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Monday that continued speculations that Moscow was involved in his death may damage relations with Britain.
