Sushi diners around Litvinenko offered testing
DINERS at a sushi bar where a former Russian spy was possibly poisoned have been offered medical help. Urine tests will be offered to clients at the Itsu restaurant in Piccadilly, central London, who fear they came into contact with ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
The Health Protection Agency asked anyone who was in the restaurant or the Pine Bar in the Millennium Hotel, Grosvenor Square, where Mr Litvinenko went on November 1 to contact NHS Direct. They will be screened using a questionnaire to find anyone who may have been in contact with him or the food he ate.
And go over them with Geiger counters ... | An HPA spokeswoman said: We expect that we are going to do tests and we expect that they are going to be negative and we have no reason to think customers are at risk.
