Litvinenko 'smuggled nuclear material'

Alexander Litvinenko, the poisoned former Russian agent, told the Italian academic he met on the day he fell ill that he had organised the smuggling of nuclear material out of Russia for his security service employers.
Mario Scaramella, who flew into London yesterday to be interviewed by Scotland Yard officers investigating Mr Litvinenko's death, said Mr Litvinenko told him about the operation for the FSB security service, the successor to the KGB.
This could explain the objects found in Litvinenko's colon, one of which had apparently burst.
If the contents of these objects was Polonium-210 then this could also explain how Polonium-210 entered his body. I would assume that the objects were made of material of sufficient strength to block the radiation from damaging his body, but with one of them bursting open that shield had been removed and the Polonium-210 began destroying his internal organs.
Apparently Goldfarb was unaware of this smuggling history of Litvinenko.
I'm thinking this is now a possibility;
1. Litvinenko was still smuggling, ingesting the contraband which in this latest case was Polonium-210 (for whatever reason).
2. one of the pouches ruptured, and the Polonium-210 was able to begin destroying his organs.
3. knowing he was doomed he and his pals blamed Putin
Without a satisfactory explanation for the presence of those objects in Litvinenko's digestive system this is now another interesting twist.
