Was spy murdered in Russian power fight?
MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- Forget the obvious conclusion that the Kremlin slowly and painfully poisoned former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
Consider instead that he died in a bitter domestic power struggle which also included the murder of campaigning journalist Anna Politkovskaya last month.
The theory may sound outlandish but it is shared by opponents of President Vladimir Putin living abroad and some of his supporters inside the country.
