Russian spy: Salisbury diners told to wash possessions

http://www.bbc.co.uk.convey.pro/l/Xop29J7

Trace amounts of the substance used to poison ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were found at the Mill pub and Zizzi restaurant.

Prof Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, said the risk of harm was "low".

The advice applies to anyone in either venue after 13:30 on Sunday.

People who were at either venue before closure on Monday are advised to do the following:

Clothes should be washed, ideally in a washing machine
Clothes which cannot be washed, for example if they need dry cleaning, should be double bagged in plastic until further notice
Mobile phones, handbags and other electronic items should be wiped with baby wipes, which should be bagged in plastic and put in the bin
Other items such as jewellery and glasses should be washed with warm water and detergent.

(end snip)

And yes, they mean the baby wipes should be bagged and put in the bin, not your phone.

So, Scumbag Donnie, Russian terrorist attacks are like Amurkan white supremacist terrorist attacks - not worthy of your attention. 'Good people on both sides.' and "We kill people too.' I guess you and Pootey are having a tough time pinning this on immigrants, huh.

Salisbury spy poisoning: Possible sources of nerve agent at five sites

https://news.sky.com/story/salisbury-spy-poisoning-police-identify-240-witnesses-and-examine-200-pieces-of-evidence-11284847

Five locations across Salisbury have been identified as possible sources of the nerve agent which left former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in a critical condition.

The sites include a bench in the Maltings shopping centre where the pair were found unconscious, Mr Skripal's home, the cemetery where his wife and son are buried, and the Bishop's Mill pub and Zizzi restaurant where the pair visited in the hours before they fell ill.

Investigators are reported to have found traces of a chemical weapon in one part of the Zizzi premises.
