Police in Hamburg guard a sealed off street in Hamburg, northern Germany, Friday evening, Dec. 8, 2006. Police said Friday they would check an apartment in Germany apparently used by a contact of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko for the radioactive substance believed to have killed him. Police said in a statement that the apartment in the northern city of Hamburg was used by Dmitry Kovtun, apparently the same man who met Litvinenko in London shortly before he fell ill. Kovtun is reportedly being treated in Moscow for radiation poisoning. (AP Photo/Fabian Bimmer)
AP - A doorman in a bowler hat. A bellboy buzzing around a busy hotel lobby. A quarantined oak-paneled piano bar. Investigators focused on London's Millennium Hotel on Friday, as evidence grew that it was the scene of a sensational crime — the place where someone poisoned former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko with the lethal radioactive substance polonium-210. |
