Doctors Say Ukraine Opposition Leader Poisoned

HeadlineDec 13, 2004

Doctors in Vienna have confirmed that Ukrainian opposition leader and presidential hopeful Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned several months ago. Doctors said he has 1,000 times the normal amount of dioxin in his body. The poisoning has disfigured his face over the past few months. The candidate fell sick Sept. 6, a day after meeting with the head of the Security Service of Ukraine and others. Two weeks after the meeting Yushchenko first suggested that there had been an attempt on his life.
