Kit Knightly Two days ago it was reported that UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps was warning the country might face another “novichok-style attack”. And he’s completely right – although probably not in the way he wants you to think. But we’ll get to that. First, we should ask: What exactly is a “novichok-style attack”? What …
