"One of the two suspects in the poisoning of an ex-spy in England is a doctor who works for Russian military intelligence and traveled to Britain under an alias, investigative group Bellingcat reported Monday.

Bellingcat said on its website that the man British authorities identified as Alexander Petrov is actually Alexander Mishkin, a doctor working for the Russian military intelligence unit known as GRU.

British officials said when they charged two Russians last month in the March nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter that they believed Petrov was an assumed name.

The other suspect also traveled to Salisbury, England, under an alias — Ruslan Boshirov. — but is a decorated Russian agent named Anatoliy Chepiga, Bellingcat reported last month."

2. Just a thought

I read for the first time 'bellingcat' and had never heard of it before, they really do get into details. I had never heard of the website until it was mentioned to me by a friend in Scotland.
