Thursday, July 19 in the news....

  • A hitman sent to Britain to kill exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky was arrested by British security services as he planned the murder and then deported, it was confirmed tonight. The gunman was spotted as he entered the country through Heathrow airport and placed on 24-hour surveillance after intelligence was received about the plot to kill Berezovsky at the Hilton Hotel on London’s Park Lane. "I guess I'll go back to working in construction," the deported Russian said.
