LONDON – Three people remain hospitalized after a nerve-agent attack on an ex-Russian spy last Sunday in the southern English city of Salisbury, as around 18 people have had medical treatment due to the poisoning incident, British police said on Friday. Officials said ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, are still in the hospital reportedly in critical but stable condition. Nick Bailey, who tried to help Skripal and his daughter, while already manifesting progress, is still confined in an English hospital. A Russia expert in Britain said that “Russia was the most likely story” for explaining who was behind the nerve agent attack. But Rudd declined to say if she believed Russia was behind the attack.
