Nuclear Poisoning

Investigation continues over the death of Ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko due to nuclear poisoning from Polonium 210.

An investigation was under way last night into Russia's black market trade in radioactive materials amid concern that significant quantities of polonium 210, the substance that killed former spy Alexander Litvinenko, are being stolen from poorly protected Russian nuclear sites.

As I track this story over the last week, I couldn't stop making a connection to the 2003 movie Cradle 2 The Grave with Jet Li, featuring rapper DMX.

DMX and his professional heisters stole some extremely rare black diamonds that turns out to be top secret Taiwanese military project for stable plutonium until its enriched. Becuase of this, DMX is swept into a storm of people trying to get there hands on these diamonds namingly Jet Li - Taiwanese Agent who tries to destroy the diamond - and of course his evil traitor counter part Mark Dacascos, who kidnapped DMX's daughter.

The most relevant part of this movie is when Dacasco enriched the black diamonds with a green laser and read out its potential to a whole bunch of international terrorist representation...tomahawk missile, hiroshima, 2 hiroshima...new world order from one black diamond. Then Jet Li flies in and in an ultimant show down against Dacasco, Jet Li made the villian swallow a enrich black diamond. The special effect shows plutonium begin to radiate and light up as Dacasco quickly begin to quickly disintegrate atom by atom.
