Fugitive Russian sues newspaper

The man Britain wants to charge for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko has sued a leading Russian newspaper for allegedly damaging his reputation in an article that linked him to the killing. Former KGB officer Andrei Lugovoy demanded 20m roubles (£394,000) in damages from Kommersant. At a court hearing, the paper offered to publish a clarification and to give Lugovoy a chance to offer his version of events through an interview. The case was adjourned to see if an agreement can be reached. (Via Reuters)
