Is this a terrorist attack?

My question is simply this, is there any possibility at all that this could be an elaborate terrorist attack? And that the mainsteam media has been sucked in to a proffesionaly planned cover story?

I mean there have been all sorts of threads and theories about other much more natural occurrences such as Bird flu, Tsunami's and earthquakes having an underlying conspiracy basis.

So if polonium-210 is so easily spread amongst a possible 30,000 (at least) people and across a large capital city or even a small country, then why wouldn’t it be used for terror warfare?

"To date, around 24 venues have or are being monitored and experts have confirmed traces of contamination at around 12 of these venues,"

You know, this could even be the next step in the NWO's population reduction program!

Could be just me, but this whole ordeal isn't that terrifying... so by definition, it would be a pretty lame terrorist attack. And since this IS AboveTopSecret, I'm assuming most would agree that lots of governments would LOVE this to be a terrorist attack and not want to cover it up.

If I wanna be scared, I'd much rather see buildings blow up and blood and guts than one bald guy in a hospital bed. And the story of being a spy and all his connections--none of that really applies to me, a typical member of the public... To be effective, terrorist acts much terrify people, and the public must feel a sense of connection. "It could happen to me! I could be in my high rise office and get smacked by a big plane and die in a fireball"--I can relate to that.

But: "Man, I could be a super-duper secret spy and tell the world a bunch of secrets about my government and then have the KGB after my ass and kill me with polonium-210!!"--Nah, doesn't really do anything for me.

You never know, it could be 100,00 people in hospital beds or cemetrys in a couple of week's.

Surely its a possibility?

why wouldn't it be a terrorist attack?? (sure hate to use that word since "terrorism" is so over-used in the bush regime and news lately) but "dirty bombs" don't necessarily need to be a bomb per se.
i smattering of plutonium in populated areas would be horrific in the sense that it's a quiet killer.

Polonium needs to be ingested for it to be lethal methinks. The only way this could be used as a "dirty bomb" would be if they contaminated food with the stuff on a wide scale. Just a few milligrams is a fatal dose afterall and if they could dump a bunch of this stuff in an industrial sized bread mixer.... i shudder to think of how many would die...

It was a terrorist attack, although targeted at a small amount of people -- namely Russian defectors.

It was meant to be a very public death and I'm sure instilled fear in anyone who would speak up against Putin and spill his secrets.

But what if Putin isn't behind it? There are elections coming up and one of his opponents could be doing this to discredit his administration. This plot could be much darker then we think.

Food for thought, did you know in the last Russian elections the National Socialists received more votes then the Communist party? Now I'm not making the allegation that they are responsible for this and other poisonings, but it just shows you that the political situation in that country is very tenuous.

I agree, i think putins being made to look like the culprit.

he's a bad dood behind closed doors im sure..

but he's not stupid enough to leave radiation lying about england, with a dead kgb man who had evidence against him.....

i made a mistake in my post. i was actually talking g about uranium. and got plutonium mixed up with it. a random distribution of uranium would prose a huge threat.
there were tests done in the 50's or 60's here in SF where there were black boxes placed around town that had uranium in them, and people were getting ill all over the place, and birth defects were sky rocketing.

so if couple thousand people die and Russia is implemented what does the UK Government do about it?

could it be considered an act of war?
