«Breaking News» Naming of Salisbury Novichok assassins was delayed 'to protect English fans at the World Cup'

British authorities delayed naming the novichok assassins until after the World Cup 'to protect the lives of England football fans', it has been claimed.

Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov unleashed the poisonous attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia at their home in Salisbury, Wiltshire, in March.

The Government knew the identities of the Russian agents from as early as April but withheld them in case tensions between the two countries boiled over while thousands of England fans were in Russia.

'It would have been unwise to identify the Russian agents before the World Cup. To have done so would have put a huge number of British nationals in Russia in possible danger,' a Whitehall source told The Telegraph. 

Petrov and Boshirov were known to police as early as April after being caught on CCTV at Gatwick, Heathrow and Salisbury.

Suspicions were all but confirmed when officers found traces of novichok in the London hotel room where the pair stayed.

British authorities made a 'strategic' decision to keep quiet about the suspects in the hope they'd make one more trip to Europe where they could be caught, according to the paper.

Their identities were also withheld over fears that England fans would be targeted in Russia.

Coincidentally, Theresa May revealed the names of both Russian men to MPs in the Commons on her first day back after parliamentary recess.

More than 10,000 fans travelled to Russia over the summer to watch The Three Lions compete in the tournament.  

The development comes after it was revealed the Russian hitmen made at least six trips to Geneva prior to carrying out their attack in Salisbury.

Records show they booked nine separate flights to and from the Swiss city between November 2017 and February this year, according to records seen by The Telegraph. 

Establishing who the agents met in Geneva is essential to the ongoing investigation, Whitehall sources said.  

The tickets suggest they visited Geneva, the hub of international diplomacy, during sensitive Syria peace talks hosted by the

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
