This. Is. Wild. 😳

“Let’s hire an ISIS suicide bomber to blow him up in the street!”: Europe’s most wanted man plotted my murder — and that of my colleague.

The verdicts handed down by the Old Bailey have put an end to this particular plot, but Marsalek himself remains at large — as we now know — under Moscow’s protection. If there’s one sobering lesson I’ve taken from this ordeal, it’s that every time a thwarted plan for retribution fizzles, another one may appear. We live and work in the shadow of a Kremlin that abhors pesky truth-tellers — and from my vantage point, it will take more than one guilty verdict to change that.
