英法官：利特維年科被殺很可能經普京批准

A British judge said Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin "probably approved" a plan to poison ex-KBG agent Alexander Litvinenko.

Litvinenko died nearly 10 years ago after drinking a cup of tea that judge Robert Owen said was laced with the rare radioactive isotope polonium-210. From his death bed, Litvinenko accused Putin of ordering his assassination.

In a long-awaited report, Owen said Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi, two Russian former KGB agents, carried out the killing and probably did so under the direction of Russia's FSB security service.

The two men confirmed meeting with Litvinenko in London on several occasions, including at the time of the suspected poisoning, but deny any involvement in his death. Russia has refused to extradite them.

After the report's release Thursday, Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Lugovoi as calling the British inquiry nonsense and saying it was politically motivated.英國一位法官星期四說，俄羅斯總統普京“很可能曾批准”毒殺前克格勃特工亞歷山大·利特維年科的計劃。

將近10年前，利特維年科在飲用了一杯茶後死亡。法官歐文說，這杯茶裏含有稀有放射性同位素釙。利特維年科臨死前指稱，是普京下了暗殺他的命令。

在一份外界期待已久的報告中，歐文說，俄羅斯前克格勃特工剋夫頓和魯格沃伊執行了這次毒殺行動，而且很可能是在執行俄羅斯聯邦安全局的命令。

這兩個人確認曾多次在倫敦同利特維年科見面，其中包括涉嫌毒殺利特維年科的那次會面。但是他們否認與他的死有關。俄羅斯當局拒絕引渡他們。

英國法官的報告星期四公佈後，俄羅斯國際文傳電訊社引述魯格沃伊的話說，英國的調查具有政治動機，是一派胡言。
