Great diary.

I wonder about the possible source of polonium as I heard in the Arafat affair, that it is quite difficult to produce and so the possible sources are limited.

Arafat and Litvinenko would be strange bed fellows. Since the hidden premise is that the Soviet Union/Russia has the exclusive rights on eliminating people with radioactive substances, one wonders what motive they would have-- or anyone would have for that matter-- in killing an aged and sicken man under seige in Ramallah.

Not sure the Russians have a monopoly on polonium though.

No, the tobacco industry also produces it. And there have been rumors of an accident with it in Israel several decades ago.
