The European Court of Human Rights found on Tuesday that Russia was responsible for the assassination of ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko, who died an agonising death in 2006 after being poisoned in London with a rare radioactive substance.

LONDON -

From his deathbed, Litvinenko told detectives he believed President Vladimir Putin - himself a former KGB spy - had directly ordered his killing, a charge the Kremlin denied. "The planned and complex operation involving the procurement of a rare deadly poison, the travel arrangements for the pair, and repeated and sustained attempts to administer the poison indicated that Mr Litvinenko had been the target of the operation.""The ECHR hardly has the authority or technological capacity to possess information on the matter," he said. "There are still no results from this investigation and making such claims is at the very least unsubstantiated.

Russia has also rejected any involvement in that case, which led to tit-for-tat expulsion of dozens of diplomats. "However, the government had made no serious attempt to provide such information or to counter the findings of the UK authorities," it said.
