BEREZOVSKY TO BE QUESTIONED BY RUSSIAN INVESTGATORS

If Litvinenko was done in by Putin (though until someone can explain those three objects one of which had burst I'll assume a smuggling accident) then he is at least getting to pressure Berezovsky.

MOSCOW (AFP) - The contentious poisoning case of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was heating up again as detectives from Moscow prepared to travel to London to question Kremlin foes.

The death in London on November 23 of Litvinenko, in agonizing pain after being administered a huge dose of radioactive polonium, caused a storm of media speculation and strained ties between Britain and Russia.

The team of detectives heading to London Tuesday particularly want to interview two prominent Russian exiles there -- influential businessman Boris Berezovsky and former Chechen rebel leader Akhmed Zakayev -- Russian General Prosecutor Yury Chaika said.

Both men have been given political asylum by the British authorities
