Reuters is reporting that the poisoned Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko may have received his fatal dose in a sushi bar:

Police investigating the death of a former Russian spy from suspected radiation poisoning have found levels of radiation in a London sushi bar where he ate just before he became sick, health officials said on Friday.

"The police reported that they had found some radiation there (in the Sushi bar). We are assessing the level of that and the potential risk to people that might cause," Pat Troop, head of the independent Health Protection Agency, told the BBC.

The HPA said polonium 210, a radioactive isotope, had been discovered in the body of Alexander Litvinenko, who died overnight at a London hospital after wasting away during three weeks of illness.

Commentary

Some gruesome and public was the murder of Mr. Litvinenko that if I owned a sushi bar right now in London I'd be very worried. Logically, that the late spy may have been poisoned in one sushi bar should in no way constitute an indictment of all London sushi bars. And logically, no one who isn't on the wrong side of the Russian mob or other unnamed, revenge-seeking parties should have to worry about being deliberately poisoned anywhere at anytime.
