Berezovsky Assassin Foiled
By Sean at 18 July, 2007, 3:05 pm
Just in time. The widely read British tabloid, the Sun, is reporting that agents from MI5 and MI6 foiled the assassination of Boris Berezovsky at the Hilton Hotel on London’s Park Lane. Here is how John Kay of the Sun describes things:
He sought to shoot exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky — who has called for the violent overthrow of Russian president Vladimir Putin — in the back of the head.
The assassin was accompanied by a CHILD in a cold-blooded attempt to avoid raising suspicion.
But MI5 and MI6 intercepted intelligence about the plot — due to have been carried out within the last fortnight.
And the hitman was seized before he could open fire.
The murderous mission was revealed 24 hours after Britain ordered the expulsion of four Russian diplomats. (Emphasis the Sun’s)
Using the child as a cover to “blend into the background” the would-be assassin tried to lure Berezovsky into a meeting room in the Hilton. The assassin’s name or the child’s has yet to be revealed. Security officials denied a direct link the current crisis over Andrei Lugovoi’s extradition. As we all know, reasons of off Berezovsky are plenty enough. And apparently there have already been several attempts. BAB told BBC’s Newsnight that “There were several attempts to kill me in this country,” adding that “Scotland Yard pay a lot of attention to my protection and I’m happy about that.”
According to Berezovsky, British intelligence informed him three weeks ago of the plot and advised him to leave the country. “I was advised by the police to leave the country if I could. I went overseas for a week and then the police informed me that I could return,” he told reporters. The announcement, however, is perfect timing as relations between Russia and Britain are in a tailspin over the “Litvinenko Affair.” The announcement of an attempt on Berezovsky’s life will only add fuel to the fire.
I doubt this will be the last we’ve heard of this new twist in the saga.

Hey, maybe this was the Russian governments idea of an “adequate and appropriate” response.
Even better, the news now is that two Russian bombers decided to test RAF response …

Totally symbolic gesture, of course.
What I find odd, as I posted today, is that Scotland Yard would advise someone under their protection to _leave_ the U.K. temporarily.
That just doesnt sound right.

I see nothing odd. Simply because we don’t know what (if) Scotland Yard advised anyone.
It is The Sun that said this.
PS. I wonder how long British government is going to allow Berezovskiy to play his idiotic shows in London?
“Scotland Yard said the man was arrested in central London on 21 June on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
He was released without charge two days later into the custody of the immigration service. “
I assume that Scotland Yard couldn’t charge the hitman because they didn’t know his name. Most likely he was the foreigner without passport. So they sent him to immigration service.
This explains everything
