-Caveat Lector-
mass murder is a manifestation of human nature, and thus
is not limited to the United States, Britain's ITN
television news ran a story yesterday (5/13/99) about a
rash of mass murders without bullets in one of the most
peaceful nations on the planet--Japan. The ITN story
explained that, just as in the U.S., a headline-making
killing spree inspired a host of copycat events.
Since ITN's website failed (as it usually does), to
carry the story, here are the facts as presented by The
Disaster Center,

Another Japanese Poisoning
Six people in central Japan were hospitalized after
drinking coffee and tea spiked with a toxic chemical
used to inflate car air bags, police said on Saturday.
The six -- four students and two faculty members from
Mie University's department of bioresources -- made
tea and coffee with hot water from a thermos spiked
with sodium azide, the same chemical used in a similar
poisoning incident in August, police said.
The six suffered convulsions and dizziness after
drinking the poisoned tea and coffee on Friday. They
were rushed to a nearby hospital and all were expected
to recover soon, police said.
In the other case involving the same chemical, 10
people fell ill after drinking tea laced with sodium
azide in northern Japan, about 250 miles away from the
most recent poisoning case.
No arrests have been made in either case.
Japan has been hit by several poisoning cases over the
past few months with health officials admitting they
were at a loss on how to protect unsuspecting people
from tainted food and drink.
The most serious case occurred in July, when four
people were killed and at least 60 others sickened
after eating a curry dish spiked with arsenic at a
summer festival in western Japan.
today's ITN story reported that a very ordinary
looking middle aged husband and wife have been captured
and accused of the curry killing mentioned in the
paragraph above. The wife is believed to be the primary perpetrator--the
husband was an accessory. Who says husbands never help out in the
kitchen?]----------
