[CTRL] Japan's version of Littleton
-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, http://www.disastercenter.com/poison.hts?view+90864883 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.
