Report: Britain has identified Russians suspected of Skripal nerve attack
British police have identified several Russians who they believe were behind the nerve agent attack on former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, the British news agency, Press Association, said on Thursday, citing a source close to the investigation.
A police spokesman declined to comment on the report. Security Minister Ben Wallace was dismissive, saying it belonged to the "ill informed and wild speculation folder".
Skripal, a former colonel in Russian military intelligence who betrayed dozens of agents to Britain's MI6 foreign spy service, and his daughter Yulia, were found unconscious on a public bench in the English city of Salisbury on March 4.
