Our role now of course is to establish who is behind this and why they carried out this act."<br /><br /> Rowley added that a police officer who treated them when they collapsed in Salisbury on Sunday was also in a serious condition <br />Suspicions are again falling on Russia, as the incident has overtones of a fatal 2006 attack on a former Russian spy that was blamed on the Kremlin.<br />Moscow has denied involvement in both cases. <br />Skripal is a former Russian double agent who had served jail time in his homeland for spying for Britain before being freed in a spy swap.<br />The issue has further strained relations between Russia and Britain, which has said it will respond strongly if the Kremlin is linked to the attack. <br />
