Yushchenko Accuses Ukrainian Government of Trying to Kill Him

Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko is accusing the Ukrainian Secret Service of poisoning him with dioxin during a dinner meeting with the head of the Ukrainian spy service.

The opposition leader made the accusation after it was revealed that the dioxin levels in his blood are not 1,000 times higher than normal as was earlier reported, but 6,000 times higher. Yushchenko went to Austria and got specialized testing done, which revealed how close he came to dying.

The poison disfigured his face and skin and may never completely heal. Once dioxin is concentrated and weaponized, it can be administered in any form; in this case, it was poured into a bowl of soup that Yushchenko had as he was dining with the head of the Ukrainian Secret Service (KGB).

This story is getting worse as the days go by. Here's the story.
