The plot to kill Boris Berezovsky?

The plot thickens. "Putin regards London, with some justice, as like pre-Castro Havana, an open city awash in the laundered loot of Yeltsin's privatisations, draining the new Russia of investment and talent and giving refuge to people he sees as tax-dodgers and thieves," writes Simon Jenkins in the Guardian. One of those people is undoubtedly the exiled tycoon Boris Berezovksy, who - if the Sun's sources are correct - was the target of a Russian hitman who intended to murder him in a hotel room some time during the past fortnight.
