The poisoning of Alex Litvinenko is starting to remind me of Gladio and the Strategy of Tension
"Police on Sunday arrested an Italian man who met with a former Russian spy the day the Russian fell ill from poisoning, news agencies reported. Mario Scaramella was arrested in Naples after returning from London, the ANSA and Apcom agencies reported.

Rome prosecutors have been investigating Scaramella for violating secrets and possible arms trafficking. Scaramella met with Alexander Litvinenko at a London sushi bar on Nov. 1, the day the former KGB agent fell ill. Litvinenko died on Nov. 23."

Some reading on Scaramella makes him look like almost like some sort of operative for the Far Right (P2, Gladio, etc.) in Italy.

He served as an investigator and adviser to the controversial Mitrokhin Commission set up by Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party in order to investigate supposed links between Berlusconi's political rivals, including his rival for the premiership (now Prime Minister) Romano Prodi and the KGB.

Scaramella is alleged to have collaborated with the president of the commission Paolo Guzzanti in garnering false evidence to link Prodi with the KGB.

Best known for a memo claiming that Soviet submarine K-8 left 20 nuclear mines in the Bay of Naples in 1970. (Rings of the Strategy of Tension, doesn't it?)

Gives lectures on "special anti-terror technologies".

Berlusconi was a member of P2

The Mitrokhin Commission was set up to provide disinformation against opponents of the Italian Far Right and it said that the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II was done by Soviets, even though this was said without any evidence, and as more and more comes out, it looks like the botched assassination was done by the Far Right

Several items such as linking Prodi to the KGB and saying the Soviets laid nuclear mines in the Bay of Naples sound like things that would be done during the Strategy of Tension

Whatever the case may be, this is starting to get interesting.

1. The Pope who was Pope for like a month
The one who was going to audit the Vatican books? I think LaRouche and P2 were connected.

ANd remember the Italian Train Station bombings, by the so called Red Brigades.
