"We are now sure that we can confirm which substance caused this illness. He received this substance from other people who had a specific aim." Asked if the aim had been to kill him, Dr Korpan said: "Yes, of course."Follow the Title link to read 2 pages of details. |

| #6 Probably it was the former KGB. Unless it was the Ukranian secret police. That would be my guess. I'm not certain, however. Nobody knows for sure. |

| #5 Now you've got to wonder if he's affected mentally, but I suppose that will be clearer once the poison is named. |

| #3 It doesn't matter whether the culprit was a bribed Ukrainian chef or a turncoat Moscow sympathizer; they have Putin's interests at heart!If I were Yushchenko, first I wouldn't eat anything not from a can; have a taster (like Saddam), and shoot the person who took the food off the stove and brought it to him! |
