Former Colonel Hamish de Bretton Gordon : 'This has all the hallmarks of Russian sabotage' Ex-Major General Jonathan Shaw , a former director of Special Forces and expert on UK resilience, said: “Obviously we should be worried that this could be Russia . And it is definitely a possibility,” he said.

Ex-military officials have previously warned a single substation fire crippling an airport could suggest a state-sponsored attack.

Ex-MI6's Christopher Steele said Russia could be to blame for Heathrow fire.

Former intelligence officer said Putin 's involvement "can't be ruled out" in this case.

If the Russians are found to be at the root, "it will absolutely not be then end of it" and we must enact a "resilience programme on steroids" If the fire was an accident, the current chaos will be "too tempting a target" for malign actors.
