Police stand guard outside the home of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, England, on March 6. (Toby Melville/Reuters)The former Russian double agent and his daughter who were targeted with a nerve agent more than three weeks ago may have come into contact with the poison at their front door, British authorities said Wednesday. “Detectives believe the Skripals first came into contact with the nerve agent at their home address,” a spokesman for Metropolitan police said Wednesday. “Specialists have identified the highest concentration of the nerve agent, to date, as being on the front door of the address.”Police did not say how the nerve agent was delivered, whether in person or by other means. On Monday, the United States expelled 60 Russian diplomats as 25 additional countries collectively tossed about 100 alleged Russian spies and diplomats out of their embassies.
