Washington Post: The long, terrifying history of Russian dissidents being poisoned abroad
This weekend, 66-year-old Sergei Skripal collapsed on a park bench near a shopping center in the British city of Salisbury.
He is now in the intensive care unit of the city's hospital, being treated for “suspected exposure to an unknown substance.” In other words, officials think he may have been poisoned.
Skripal, a former Russian spy, was jailed in Moscow for sharing the names of undercover Russian intelligence agents working overseas with European authorities. He was released to Britain as part of a prisoner swap. Officials believe Skripal may have been attacked by Russian operatives.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, denied any Russian involvement in the attack. “We know that this tragic situation has happened, yet we have no information about its probable causes, what this man has been doing, and what this is about,” Peskov told my colleagues.
If the investigation does, in fact, reveal that Skripal was poisoned by his fellow Russians, it wouldn't be the first time such an incident has occurred.
