UK Experts Cannot Prove That Novichock Poisoned Spy Came from Russia

April 6, 2018 UK Independent 0

Authorities claimed that the nerve agent that poisoned a double-agent spy was produced in Russia, prompting the US, UK and other European countries to impose sanctions against Russia, turning up the heat on the cold war. The UK refused to allow a chemical weapons watchdog to inspect the specimen, despite Russia’s request. Scientists at the Porton Down military research facility have been unable to establish exactly where the Novichock nerve agent used to carry out the Skripal attack was manufactured, which bolsters the suspicion that this could be a false flag attack.
