MOSCOW (Reuters) - Andrei Lugovoy, the chief suspect in the poisoning murder of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko, may become deputy head of the Russian parliament's key security committee, his party boss said on Monday.

 

"Lugovoy will work in a committee close to his specialisation. It will be probably the security committee, probably as a deputy head," said Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the head of the nationalist LDPR party.

 

LDPR was one of only four parties which overcame a 7 percent barrier to qualify for seats in the lower house of parliament after Sunday elections, incomplete results released by the election commission showed.
