Pursuant to the OPCW investigation, a Swiss-contracted lab has identified the nerve agent used against the Skripals as BZ. The only thing I know about that chemical is that it was the chemical being tested in the movie Jacob's Ladder, and that it acts as an anticholinergic so effects should be on par with a massive diphen overdose... That would suck so much.

Historically, western governments have tried to suppress stories involving terrorist and non-state use of nerve agents because they're fairly straightforward to synthesise for a person well educated in organic chemistry - they've known it's a serious threat and their best countermeasure was to limit exposure, ie. not put the thought that nerve agents can be an easy route to killing a lot of people in terrorists' heads. This story being posted literally everywhere is something of a departure from that policy, which makes me wonder if we'll see an uptick in attacks involving chemicals rather than trucks, explosives, etc...

Anyone heard from these two since the incident?

Putin was tying up some loose ends. Sergei's betrayal was personal just like Litvineko's. Also there's no explaining away those assassins being where they were at that time, period.
Russia did it.

Yeah, they executed a guy who'd already served his time for releasing state secrets and been allowed to leave the country with the one thing that could tie them to it. A++. Similar situation to Litivenko, who you should read about a bit more outside of BBC. Not even his father believes Russians killed him.
The two guys accused of it were meathead bodybuilding supplement salesmen.

Navalny? that guy was a tool anyway

Litivenko senior said a load of BS on Russian TV that he would have disowned his son had he known he was colluding with British intelligence. All that was said under duress and I'm sure Alexander would have understood his father saying anything to ensure his own safety, after all he still lives in Russia.
Russia killed Litvineko end of story.

lol, the fact that the title is a quote that's never been verified doesn't bode well
