Death
Litvinenko is believed to have anticipated his own death. After his poisoning, Litvinenko's widow authored a book entitled The Poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko. The book mentions Russian law authorizing preemptive strikes on militant bases abroad. Litvinenko is quoted as saying "You know who they mean when they say 'terrorist bases abroad'? They mean us, Zakayev and Boris, and me".Reportedly the Russian state was responsible for Litvinenko's death. A British security official said that "there are very strong indications that it was a state action."Telegraph.co.uk: Russian state killed former spy Alexander Litvinenko(July 8, 2008)
