According to a report, a reputed member of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) that had been accused of attempting to assassinate Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny on August 20 — a charge which Russian leaders have vehemently denied — inadvertently revealed that a team from Russia’s Federal Security Service indeed tried to assassinate Navalny using poison and only failed because of the fast response time of the pilot and emergency medical services.

“Navalny fell sick on Aug. 20 during a domestic flight in Russia and was flown while still in a coma to Berlin for treatment two days later,” AP reported last week. “Labs in Germany, France and Sweden, and tests by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, established that he was exposed to a Soviet-era Novichok nerve agent.”
