We don't know it was a syringe or where it was dumped. The Russians who killed Litvinenko poured Polonium down the sink and left traces across London. If you're killing someone with a nerve agent in public why would you be worried about the what you do with the containers etc.
Yes that was my point, others are suggesting it was a syringe as some experts say a syringe may have been used to contaminate the door handles. so people assume they just chucked the syringe somewhere on open ground which dosen't add up. the only reason to do this is would be to incite a backlash from the British government. maybe but I doubt it.
Their bosses in Russia are sending a message to other dissidents, they know the UK know their behind the attack but how far are we prepared to go when it's just 2 Russian dissidents.
I would imagine anyone who orginised the Salisbury attack will be getting his arse smacked. why push the UK government into a position were they have to react far more strongly than they would like too. did they want this or did someone cock up.
We know the Russians have always had this thing about sending a message by poisoning people.
Ive no idea what the people who organized the attack on Litvenko thought but I imagine some dick head back in Russia got his arse kicked, seems more of a botched amateurism job to me rather than just not giving a shit.
