Russian spy attack: UK ministers hold emergency meeting as nerve agent probe continues

Britain's Home Secretary will lead a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee on Saturday as investigators continue to probe the attempted murder of a former Russian double agent and his daughter using a rare nerve agent.
Some 180 military personnel have been deployed to the normally quiet cathedral city of Salisbury in southern England to help police as they investigate several sites amid concerns over potential contamination.
Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were still hospitalized in "very serious condition" after being poisoned earlier this week, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said as she visited Salisbury on Friday.
The pair -- believed by authorities to have been deliberately targeted -- were found slumped on a bench near a shopping center on Sunday afternoon.
