US Secretary of State Pompeio "Attacking Russian officials for attempted poisoning" 19:15, September 10
``There is a good chance that Russian officials were involved,'' U.S. Secretary of State Pompey said in a radio show interview with Russian opposition leader Nawarinui on the alleged attempted poisoning. We once again asked Russia to clarify the truth.
Navarinui, a leader of opposition forces who has criticized Putin's regime in Russia, was suddenly transferred to a German hospital complaining of physical condition last month while traveling in Russia, and German Chancellor Merkel was formerly said on the 2nd of this month. We have announced the results of a study that the same kind of substance as the nerve agent "Novichoku" developed in the Soviet Union was used.
On this, US Secretary of State Pompey said in a radio show interview that "everyone would think there could have been the involvement of senior Russian officials."
In addition, he said, "The United States and Western countries have made it clear that Russia is accountable for this case," and asked Russia again to clarify the truth.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's allegations of attempted poisoning by Mr Nawarinui have "denied unfounded accusations" and have denounced the government's involvement.
