  • Two people found unconscious in Wiltshire, England, were exposed to the same nerve agent used in an attack on the ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, authorities said.
  • The man and woman exposed are critically ill in hospital.
  • Skripal and his daughter were both poisoned with the Novichok nerve agent in March.

AMESBURY, England (Reuters) - Britain's counter-terrorism chief said on Wednesday that two people who are critically ill in hospital in Wiltshire were exposed to the Novichok nerve agent, the same toxin that was used in an attack on ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal.

The man and woman, both British, were found unwell at a house in Amesbury on Saturday, close to Salisbury where Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with nerve agent in March.
