Britain’s new government said it would expel four diplomats from the Russian Embassy in London and suspend visa negotiations in retaliation for Moscow's refusal to extradite a suspect in the murder of Alexander Litvinenko. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said: “This is a situation the government has not sought and does not welcome. But we have no choice but to address it.” Litvinenko, a former employee of Russia's Federal Security Service, fled to Britain and became a fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin. He died an agonising death in London after ingesting a lethal dose of the radioactive isotope polonium 210. Moscow has since refused to extradite Andrei Lugovoy, a former state security agent. British prosecutors want to bring him before a British court and charge him with the murder of Litvinenko.
