Medical examination confirms poisoning of Kyrgyz premier
BISHKEK, May 29 (RIA Novosti) - A medical examination revealed the presence of an unidentified poison in the blood of the Kyrgyz prime minister, a spokesman for the premier said Tuesday.
Last week, Prime Minister Almaz Atambayev said someone tried to poison him in his office in early May.
The medical examination report said that Atambayev was suffering from some kind of toxic hepatitis after an unknown toxin entered his system.
Atambayev, a liberal opposition leader, was appointed the new premier in March by incumbent President Kurmanbek Bakiyev in an attempt to form a coalition government, and avoid a political crisis as opposition parties threatened to hold protest rallies in the country.
