Right, that’s an important correction. It casts even more doubt on his poisoning being state ordered.

The smoking gun is that the nerve agent came from a USSR factory decades ago. It’s not hard to imagine that ended up in who-knows-whose hands since then.

Plus, it didn’t even do the job. Skirpal was released from the hospital. Seems pretty amateur...
