Titolo: Curse of the Moscow bombs (The Times)

Questa investigazione potrebbe essere il motivo principale per cui a 
Litvinenko e' stata tappata la bocca: sarebbe l'ultimo di una serie di 
morti, tra cui la Politkovskaya.
L'altra ipotesi interessante e' che sia stato usato come una bomba 
sporca vivente per far fuori il clan di Berezkovsky a Londra.

Curse of the Moscow bombs
Many like Litvinenko who probed Putinąs war on Chechnya are dead, writes 
Mark Franchetti in Moscow
The series of bomb attacks on apartment blocks in September 1999 claimed 
300 lives and brought terror to the streets of Moscow and two other 
Russian cities.
Unknown terrorists had rented accommodation on the ground floor of the 
apartment blocks and filled them with explosives which destroyed the 
buildings.
Hundreds of dead and injured were plucked from the rubble as the attacks 
continued over many days and more than 30,000 buildings were searched in 
Moscow as panic took hold.
The Kremlin pointed the finger at rebels in the breakaway republic of 
Chechnya. It used the blasts to justify a new wave of łanti-terrorist˛ 
operations and, a few weeks later, troops were sent back into Chechnya 
for a second time.
But doubts have persisted about the Kremlinąs official version of 
events. Sceptics have argued that Chechen rebels had nothing to gain 
from planting the bombs. The Chechens had won the first war in 1996 and 
had already gained de facto independence.
The new war, however, benefited one man: Vladimir Putin, now Russian 
president. At the time he had only recently been appointed prime 
minister and was a little known figure among the Russian electorate.
In the space of a few months his popularity rating shot up from 2% to 
70%, mainly as a result of the image the war created. He was a man of 
action determined to go after Chechen terrorists.
As a result, critics of the Kremlin in Russia and the West have for 
years claimed that the Federal Security Service (FSB), the former KGB, 
played a role in the bombings. This is an allegation that is vehemently 
denied by the Russian authorities. Putin has called it łimmoral˛.
But whatever the truth about who planted the bombs, one incident in 
particular has raised suspicion over the role played by the FSB.
On the night of September 22, 1999, when tensions were at their height, 
a passer-by in the city of Ryazan, 120 miles southeast of Moscow, saw a 
group of people unloading bags from a car boot into the basement of an 
apartment block building.
The police were called and raided the building. They announced that they 
had found a detonator and bags containing hexogen, the same explosive 
used in the other bombings. The Russian interior minister proudly 
announced that a terrorist attack had been foiled.
But only an hour later the Kremlin did an about turn. Nikolai Patrushev, 
the head of the FSB and a close Putin ally, went on air to say that the 
suspicious powder discovered in Ryazan was in fact just sugar. The 
incident, he claimed, had been part of an FSB civil defence exercise.
The łsugar˛ was later blown up, preventing any further tests. The FSB 
went on to claim that the bomb expert who had identified the hexogen had 
made a mistake because his hands were tainted with the explosive.
The bizarre incident led many to suspect that the FSB had planned to 
blow up the building and could also have been behind the other blasts, 
thus discrediting the Chechens.
In his book Blowing Up Russia, Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian 
spy who died from poisoning in London last month, set out to prove that 
theory.
Alexander Goldfarb, a close ally of the exiled Russian tycoon Boris 
Berezovsky who had helped Litvinenko to flee to Britain, believes this 
is why he was killed.
Others who have sought to investigate the bombings have been silenced, 
too. Many conspiracy theorists believe investigating the bombing is a 
dangerous business.
In 2003 Sergei Yushenkov, a liberal member of parliament, was gunned 
down in Moscow, a case that remains unsolved. Yushenkov had set up an 
independent commission to investigate the bombings.
Later that year Yuri Shchekochikhin, another MP who was on the 
commission, died in mysterious circumstances and is believed to have 
been poisoned.
Shchekochikhin was also an editor at Novaya Gazeta, the independent 
newspaper where Anna Politkovskaya, the fierce Kremlin critic, worked 
until she too was gunned down in October this year.
Shchekochikhin was taken ill suddenly and developed awful symptoms: his 
skin peeled, he was covered in boils, his hair fell out and he suffered 
respiratory failure.
His colleagues were unable to investigate his death because they were 
told that the autopsy results were secret and would not be released even 
to his relatives.
Some of his friends and colleagues suspect he was silenced because of 
his work on the bombings, although his other journalistic work ‹ notably 
his probe into a financial scandal involving the father of an FSB deputy 
director ‹ may also have made him a target.
In August 2004 Mikhail Trepashkin, who like Litvinenko was a former FSB 
officer who became close to Berezovsky, was arrested while investigating 
the bombings on behalf of the commission. He was thrown in jail on 
trumped-up charges of passing on state secrets to Britain.
Trepashkin had claimed that Vladimir Romanovich, a man who rented out 
the basement in one of the bombed buildings, was in fact an FSB agent. 
Romanovich was hit and killed by a car in Cyprus a few months after the 
bombings.
Meanwhile, Otto Latsis, another commission member and editor of the 
liberal Russky Kuryer newspaper, was beaten unconscious shortly after 
Trepashkinąs arrest.
Then there is the case of Politkovskaya, who wrote extensively about 
Chechnya, the bombings and crimes committed by the security forces. Two 
years before her murder, she was poisoned on her way to cover the Beslan 
school siege.
Conspiracy theorists believe the cases are linked and that the FSB is 
determined to silence anyone who seeks to prove its complicity in the 
bombings.
Others, however, including many who believe the Chechens did not plant 
the bombs, see a separate explanation for each death.
They argue that Litvinenkoąs death has caused far more damage to 
Russiaąs image than all his claims put together. Why should the Kremlin 
do such a counter-productive thing?
Similar arguments are put forward by those who do not believe the state 
played a role in Politkovskayaąs murder. It could also be that Yushenkov 
was a victim of politics and Yuri Shchekochikhin was killed by criminals.
But on both sides of the fence, in Russia at least, people agree on one 
thing: the truth about the 1999 apartment block bombings will never come 
out.

 sporca vivente per far fuori il clan di Berezkovsky a Londra.
Interessantissima.  Puoi farmi qualche ipotesi sul perche'
e' stato assassinato questo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klebnikov
Observers have suggested Klebnikov may have made powerful enemies
because he investigated corruption and sought to shed light on Russian
business. He wrote Godfather of the Kremlin (September 2000), a
biography of a Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky. Berezovsky was openly
critical of Klebnikov's writings, particularly an article published in
Forbes in 1996 about his alleged criminal activities for which he filed
a libel suit, and Forbes was forced to retract the allegations.
Klebnikov was shot to death on a Moscow street late at night on July 9,
2004 by unknown assailants. The publisher of Forbes Russian edition has
said that the murder is "definitely linked to his professional
activity".
--------------
Magari lo ha fatto Putin per dar la colpa a Berezovsky?  :-/

 e' stato assassinato questo:
Perche' io riporto una spiegazione di un omicidio dovrei fornire la 
prova di un altro?
Mi sa che tu ragioni veramente con il culo. Il pensiero di parte ti 
ottenebra il cervello.
Inquisitore di marzapane, vah...

 e' stato assassinato questo:
Per rubargli il portafoglio, visto che come "spara ca***te" non sembrava
un grande autore?

Veramente il primo ad accusarlo dal suo letto di morte e' stato il

Ciao, fesso.

ROMA - Mario Scaramella tenta il rilancio e promette nuove
rivelazioni. In una email di tre pagine spedita al suo avvocato Sergio
Rastrelli, il consulente della commissione Mitrokhin sostiene di avere
documenti e filmati per «smentire tutte le accuse che mi sono state
indebitamente e pericolosamente rivolte». Il legale ha deciso di
rendere nota soltanto una parte del messaggio, quella in cui Scaramella
afferma di avere «molte informazioni su politici e giornalisti legati
allo spionaggio sovietico». *****Ma ha svelato anche l'esistenza di un
video nel quale Aleksander Litvinenko, l'ex spia russa morta il 23
novembre scorso per contaminazione da polonio 210, «parla di questioni
italiane con una dichiarazione spontanea e poi risponde alle domande
che gli vengono poste dal consulente».**********
