Senior police officers have confirmed to The Telegraph that detailed plans containing instructions on how to manufacture and deploy the poison, which kills in seconds, were discovered by detectives. They believed that a group was plotting to release the gas on the London underground in a copy of an attack in Japan that killed 12 people in 1995. The find coincides with growing tensions in the Middle East following the US and British bombing of military installations in Iraq and the unrest in Israel. It confirms the worst fears of police, who are convinced that London, for so long a hiding place for international terrorists, is now at the top of their list for targets. Detectives are linking the plot with a major arms find in Germany in December last year when police in Frankfurt arrested four foreign nationals known to have had links to Saudi terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Weapons including grenades and guns were found in their homes. A senior police source said: "We have feared for some time that there would be a major terrorist incident in London. It is amazing it hasn't happened before. It is no secret that people in London have links with terrorists abroad. What is causing concern now is that those people are regarding the capital as a target and not just a hiding place. There was an alert just before Christmas because there was evidence of an attack. Nothing happened but that doesn't mean we are safe." Scientists said last night that the chemical was easy to manufacture and a tiny amount released in an underground station could kill thousands of people. Terrorist groups are increasingly keen to experiment with chemical weapons. Sarin, which is 26 times more deadlier than cyanide, is particularly sought after because being odourless it is almost impossible to detect. It was developed as a chemical weapon by the Nazis during the Second World War and its potential for terrorist use was realised in 1995 when the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo used it during an attack on an underground train. Twelve people were killed and more than 5,000 injured. In 1999, as a direct result of the Tokyo attack, police in London established a unit to advise key installations on how best to safeguard themselves from a chemical attack. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
