type of poison used on Navally ascertained in Berlin

  "Clinical findings indicate poisoning with a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors," the renowned Charité hospital in Berlin said on Twitter.  Cholinesterase is an enzyme that is needed for the central nervous system to function properly.
  "Alexei Navalny's prognosis remains unclear; the possibility of long-term effects, particularly those affecting the nervous system, cannot be excluded," the hospital added. 
  "Our assertions have now been confirmed by independent laboratory analyses," Navalny's spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said on Twitter. "Alexei's poisoning is no longer a hypothesis but a fact.”…In any case, he would certainly be out of action politically "for at least one or two months", Bizilj said, meaning he would miss key regional elections next month.
