It was unclear why it took a week for public health warnings to be issued to the approximately 500 people who visited the restaurant or the pub where the former spy and his daughter spent time March 4 before being found slumped unconscious on a bench in the quiet cathedral city of Salisbury.
On Sunday, the government issued an advisory saying any member of the public who frequented the restaurant Zizzi or the Mill pub should wash their clothes, double bag any items for dry cleaning and wipe any jewelry or cellphones with wet wipes to prevent possible contamination.
A table inside Zizzi, where Skripal and his daughter ate lunch, has been destroyed after traces of poison were found on it, officials said.

They knew the victims were an ex-Russian spy and his daughter ... they knew it was some kind of deadly nerve agent ... they know where to point the fingers.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, advised Britain to get things clear with the poisoning before discussing the matter with officials from his country, Russia's Tass news agency reported.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Skripal case had nothing to do with Moscow.
"In any case, this is not our affair at all," Peskov said. "The aforesaid Russian citizen had worked for one of Britain's secret services. The incident occurred in British territory. By all means this is not an affair that concerns Russia, let alone Russia's leadership."

I think this attack could possibly have something to do with Putin's reelection bid coming up this month. A warning to others perhaps
