That isn't retaliation.
That's making sure the one who planted the bomb can't talk, and can't incriminate the ones who made her do it.
Hm, unlikely
I mean what message do you send to your collaborators? "This is the reward when you work for us"
...
Eventually, to cut loose ends you kill her the russian way, with polonium for instance, so everybody thinks russia did it, and then they deny and people think they lie because polonium
So my money goes on a "private hit"... Or fake death, problem solved...
The way things are today, I'm wondering if that polonium shit was Russia. So sloppily done. It's rings like the Trump stories. "Trump says to inject bleach!" "Trump hides classified docs with golf magazines! " "Russian assassins spill polonium everywhere!"
If you were russia, would you really go for some "putin did it" means to assassinate someone on UK's soil? What for? So you can get demonized in western press, and legitimize retaliations?
...
I would rather go for an unfortunate accident, or better, a "mugging went wrong and that's what happens in the streets of unsafe UK"...
