Since the Ukrainians recently acknowledged responsibility for the car bombing in Moscow that killed the daughter of a nationalist writer, I expect it's been clear for a while that terrorists can "reach them" pretty much anywhere.
I’ve seen the N.Y. Times article on that. But there are several persons from the inner circle of Putin who “are falling from the stairs”, “are committing suicide by jumping from the 11th floor of the hospital” (because he really had some sort of mental issues probably), etc.
We shouldn’t forget that Putin uses Poison against his opponents (like in the Roman Emperor who died of poison, poison).
So I think that the oligarchs must be turning toward one another. I don’t know better than the U.S. intelligence but the “inner circle” of Putin is a snakes nest anyway.
