Canada, the United States, Britain, France and Germany pledged Thursday to work to disrupt "the hostile activities of foreign intelligence networks" and called on Russia to disclose its nerve agent program. British prosecutors have charged two Russian men, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, with the nerve agent poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury. They are charged in absentia with conspiracy to murder, attempted murder and use of the nerve agent Novichok. "While this incident was in Salisbury, who is to say it couldn't have happened in Paris or Amsterdam or Addis?" Haley praised the work of British authorities who identified the two Russian intelligence agents said to be behind the attack, calling it "a master class" on how to conduct an investigation.
