November 28, 2006 -- British authorities say traces of the radioactive substance that killed the former Russian spy Aleksandr Litvinenko have been found at several more sites in London.

Unconfirmed reports said they include a building owned by Litvinenko's colleague, the exiled Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky.


Another address was the office of a security company called Erinys, which Litvinenko visited.


The substance, polonium-210, was named as being responsible for the Kremlin critic's death last week.


In a deathbed statement, Litvinenko blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for his death, an accusation the Kremlin has dismissed.
