Today is remembered for many things - almost certainly most people associate it with the "9/11" events in New York.
But it is also the day in 1978 that Georgi Markov died 4 days after apparently being injected with a poison delivered via an umbrella.
Markov was a Bulgarian 'dissident' and it is now accepted that he was killed by agents working for the Bugarian state.
A "Bulgarian umbrella" refers to any such deadly device. Technology in action indeed.
