Pravda on Yushchenko's Poisoning

Powerline blog

A reader points out that Pravda.ru purports to have details on the poisoning of Victor Yushchenko, apparently by political opponents:

<<<
Viktor Yushchenko, the opposition's candidate of the notorious presidential election in Ukraine, has suffered an assassination attempt. The opposition leader was poisoned prior to the election, Dr. Nikolai Korpan from the Vienna-based Rudolfinerhaus hospital said.

According to the Ukrainian newspaper Facts, the story started on September 5th, when Viktor Yushchenko had dinner with the security service director Igor Smeshko and his deputy Vladimir Satsyuk. Yushchenko asked them to stop interfering in the political struggle. The opposition leader became sick several hours later, when the dinner was over.

For what it's worth, the meeting between Yushchenko and Smeshko had already been the subject of rumors.
