Peter Bergen wrote for CNN on the potential ramifications of the assassination attempt on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in the UK:
The attempted murder of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia earlier this month in the placid city of Salisbury in southern England has produced outrage in Britain.
Both victims were exposed to Novichok, a nerve agent of great lethality produced by the Russians, according to the British government.
Prime Minister Theresa May told Parliament on Monday, "Either this was a direct act" by the Russian government, or the Russians somehow "lost control of this potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others."
