One of the few labs capable of producing a nerve agent is in Russia's foreign intelligence headquarters, it was claimed today.
A lab run by the Russian security services is among just a handful of facilities which are capable of making a 'very rare' nerve agent which poisoned Russian spy Seigei Skripal.
Seasoned chemical weapons experts say the sarin or sarin-like nerve agent used in the attack was probably made in a state-run laboratory somewhere in the world.
According to The Sun, one of the labs in the frame is the Yasenevo facility run by Russia's foreign intelligence service, the SVR.
The SVR is the successor to the KGB and is the Russian equivalent of MI6. It's most famous former agent is Vladmir Putin himself, who was an agent in East Germany in the 1980s.
