AT LEAST 45 people, most of them children, have been hospitalised in the Russian region of Chechnya with an illness that doctors say might be nerve-gas poisoning.
Pupils, teachers and workers began reporting breathing trouble and headaches on Friday at a school in the town of Starogladovskaya, emergency workers said.
As of yesterday, 38 children and seven teachers had been hospitalised, said Oleg Ugnivenko, a spokesman for emergency situations ministry. Preliminary investigation points to an unspecified kind of nerve gas, said emergency workers and Chechen government officials.
Separatist rebels, who have been fighting Russian forces in Chechnya for most of the past decade, have committed a series of terrorist attacks in Chechnya and other parts of Russia, including the seizure of hostages in a school in Beslan in 2004.

Oh that's right...Rove the mad chemist. Brilliant! These guys think of everything. :)
Looking at this and the vagueness of the reports, the symptoms, and the paltry evidence, and who is affected, this really could be yet another case of Mass Sociogenic Illness (Donning Flame-resistant suit, I realize people really want this to be a nerve-gas attack.)
