X-rays on ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who is ill in hospital in London, have shown up unusual objects that he apparently swallowed. A source at University College Hospital told the BBC there were three objects of dense matter in his intestines. The hospital said his condition deteriorated overnight and he is now "very serious" in intensive care.

News item from the same outlet 4 hours later says that "objects" are of no concern and thallium is unlikely. Goldfarb and "spy" are mentioned in both.
