      The United Kingdom placed strict export controls on a drug commonly used for executions in the United States following pressure from death penalty opponents who sought to make it more difficult for the anesthetic to be obtained. 

      "This move underlines this government's and my own personal moral opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances without impacting legitimate trade," Secretary of State for Business Vince Cable said Monday after issuing the order that thiopental must be licensed for export, meaning companies shipping the drug overseas will be required to prove it is intended for medical use, not execution.

      U.K.'s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills issued the export controls after a recent lawsuit filed on behalf of Tennessee inmate Edmund Zagorski, whose execution was allegedly carried out using thiopental sodium from abroad
