Who is poisoning all these Russians?

Telegraph:

Doctors treating Yegor Gaidar, the former Russian prime minister who is seriously ill, believe he was poisoned, an aide has said.

“Doctors don’t see a natural reason for the poisoning and they have not been able to detect any natural substance known to them” in Mr Gaidar’s body, spokesman Valery Natarov said. “So obviously we’re talking about poisoning (and) it was not natural poisoning.”

Mr Gaidar, prime minister in the 1990s under Boris Yeltsin, fell ill on a business trip to Ireland last week. He was unconscious for three hours and vomited blood and bled from his nose.

His condition stabilised and he was returned to Moscow, where he was hospitalised again.

Meanwhile two Russians who met former KGB colonel Alexander Litvinenko on the day he may have been poisoned have confirmed that they flew on at least one of the British Airways flights that police believe could have been subjected to low level radiocative contamination.

There seems to be a curious lack of curiosity coming from the Kremlin about the coincidence of the poisonings. The story does not indicate what the motive for the latest poisoning might be, other than the man's former job. Will a reporter get to ask Putin why he thinks all these people are being poisoned lately? We know he has denied any knowledge of the plots, but surely he is curious about what is happening to his fellow Russians.

CNN reports that investigators have found 12 radiation contaminated sites so far in the investigation of the death of the former Russian spy.
