Russia willing to try Litvinenko murder suspect


Russia will try ex-KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi for the murder in London of fugitive Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko if Britain provides sufficient evidence of his guilt, news agencies quoted Prosecutor General Yury Chaika as saying yesterday.

British authorities said this week they would seek the extradition of Lugovoi, whom they formally charged with the poisoning murder of Litvinenko, though Russia has insisted it will not extradite him.
