Fine. I already mentioned the first WTC bomb, how about this from the Aum cult: "Later that evening, station staff at Shinjuku were alerted to a burning bag in one of the public restrooms. The flames were doused with water but the bag began to emit noxious fumes. The fire department arrived and finally rendered the device inactive. Later when police examined the device, they found that it contained two condoms containing the chemicals, sodium cyanide and sulfuric acid. The device was simply designed so that when the acid had eaten through the first condom it would mix with the contents of the second, creating hydrogen cyanide, a deadly gas that had been used by the Nazis in their extermination of the Jews." Or how about this: GLASS-ENCASED CYANIDE CAPSULES "...a glass cylinder about one liter in volume which is divided into two chambers: one containing liquid sulphuric acid, the other a powder of either potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. If broken, the resulting mixture yields a very volitile and lightweight yet invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN) which will quickly interfere with his breathing. The odor is almost imperceptible, but faintly resembles bitter almonds. Within seconds, it becomes difficult to hold one's breath or to breathe normally. Within one minute, respiration stops. Within five minutes, heart failure occurs. There is no known way to detect these capsules. The most prudent diggers insist on wearing a gas mask with a respirator impregnated with metal salts at all times." Anything else? Accusing people of sending John deliberate military misinformation is a serious thing, hardly something to throw around without without doing a little investigation beforehand. Why chalk up to evil what's best explained by error and stupidity? I still think the passage looks like it was written by a hack, ref. the capitalization of "Urea Nitrate." Clumsy, but the substance stands. ~~Faustine. *** He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies.
