Report: Plot to kill Putin foiled
Two men have been arrested by British anti-terrorist police in London over a plot to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin, a newspaper has said.

The Russian men, allegedly renegade intelligence officers, were planning for Putin to be shot by a sniper while on a foreign trip, The Sunday Times of London reported.

Scotland Yard said that two Russian men had been held and questioned by anti-terrorist officers in London over a five-day period.

"We can confirm two men aged 40 and 36 were arrested by officers from SO13 (the anti-terrorist branch) on the morning of Sunday, October 12 in central London following allegations of offences under the Terrorism Act 2000," a spokeswoman said.

1. A couple days ago somebody here said that there was going to be a big
event happening involving a major political figure in the last week of October.

I wonder if this was it.

Did Putin have a trip scheduled the last week in October?

5. The purported Russian plan to use Euro's for its oil sales. Was that the
underlying reason to assassinate Putin?

They certainly like to go after those whom support the
Euro.
