PRIME Minister Najib Razak has condemned the recent nerve agent attack on Russian former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury, southwest of London.

“Having experienced a similar attack on our own soil, we strongly condemn the use of chemical weapons under any circumstances. #SalisburyAttack,” Najib tweeted today.

Skripal, a former Russian spy who became a double agent for Britain, and his daughter were found slumped on a bench outside a shopping mall in Salisbury on March 4.

They remain in critical condition.

British authorities have concluded that Skripal and Yulia were poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok.
