UK CAUTIOUS OVER SKRIPAL SUSPECTS' IDENTITY

The UK says it won't comment on reports the second suspect in the Salisbury nerve agent attack is a doctor who works for Russia's military intelligence network the GRU.


He's been named by investigative website Bellingcat as Alexander Petrov.


The first suspect was named by Bellingcat last month - also as a GRU operative.


Russia denies the claims.

Former cabinet minister David Mellor believes the British government won't object to Bellingcat's naming of the men.
