| UK Deploys Military In Russia Spy Nerve Agent Attack Probe |
| 2018-03-10 |
| [NDTV] LONDON: British police requested military assistance in investigating a nerve agent attack on a former Russian double agent as speculation mounted Friday about how London could respond if a state actor were to blame. Police extended the cordon around the modest suburban home of Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, the quiet city in southwestern England where he and his daughter Yulia were found slumped on a bench on Sunday. The pair remain unconscious in a critical but stable condition, while Nick Bailey, one of the first police officers on the scene, is now sitting up and talking after initially being admitted to intensive care. With police also hurt in the attack, pressure is intensifying on Prime Minister Theresa May to find and punish the culprits. |

| #2 As you mentioned yesterday, Colonel Skripal sat in a Russian prison for years. He could have succumbed, with no great fanfare, to any number of illnesses during those years. The Russian is a paranoid, loathsome creature, but he should not be blamed for everything. I suspect the UK Defense Establishment and Porton Down have a USAMRIID, Bruce Ivins challenge before them. The proximity of PD to the crime scene is simply too coincidental. |

| #1 With police also hurt in the attack, pressure is intensifying on Prime Minister Theresa May to find and punish the culprits. And, if - just for purposes of discussion - it's not Russians? |
