[…] a unique take on the ‘whodunnit’ aspect of the assassination, a synthesis of the left and right wing conspiracy theories: Oswald was involved in the conspiracy to murder the President; and he was an FBI informant and a CIA or Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agent; but he was also working for the communists […]
[…] that Litvinenko contaminated himself, probably through involvement in an illegal nuclear smuggling operation (polonium 210 being an improbable – expensive, unreliable and dangerous – choice as a murder weapon).
