NEED TO KNOW: SALISBURY POISONING WITH FRED BURTON


On Sunday 4th March, 2018, a former Russian Intelligence officer
Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found on a bench in a
catatonic state in the town of Salisbury. It has subsequently
been found that the pair were poisoned.


On this episode of "Need to Know" we are joined by former State
Department Counterterrorism Agent and Author Fred Burton.


We discuss the Salisbury poisoning, how professional assassins
operate, and we ask who else could have been a target? We also
have a look at the recent Austin Parcel Bombing case in Austin
Texas.


Fred was the deputy chief of the Counterterrorism devision for
the State Departments, Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). He is
currently the vice president of Stratfor, a strategic
intelligence and analysis firm tracking global security and
international affairs. Fred is also the author of a number of
fantastic books, we discuss "Chasing Shadows" and "Ghost:
Confessions of a Counterterrorism Officer".
