Chemical watchdog confirms ex-spy poisoned with nerve agent
None
The international chemical weapons watchdog on Thursday confirmed Britain's finding that a former spy and his daughter were poisoned with a nerve agent, as Russia continues to deny suggestions that it was behind the attack.
The report by investigators at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons confirms "the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury."
It says the chemical was "of high purity," and does not identify its source. The summary does not name Novichok—the name of the nerve agent previously cited by British Prime Minister Theresa May—but said the details of the toxin are in the full classified report.
