The reson that this stuff does not happen all the time is that usually, no one feels like doing it.

Thanks Gene! From: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/12/10/wmilk10.xml&sSheet=/news/2003/12/10/ixworld.html

A terrorist known as the "Aquabomber", who has been poisoning bottles of mineral water in northern Italy, has started tampering with milk supplies.

Nearly a dozen victims, including three small children, have been taken to hospital with stomach pains after drinking water contaminated with bleach and acetone.

It is thought that syringes are being used to inject the poisons through bottle caps.

The poisonings have caused panic and a flurry of false alarms. On Monday alone, more than 20 cases of apparent tampering with bottles of different brands were reported in various regions.

Yesterday a 16-year-old girl suffered stomach pains after drinking mineral water in the northern town of Lecco.

Last week Federica Zoppi, 30, from Verona, was taken to hospital.

"I had a sip of mineral water and I thought I was going to die," she said. "It was as if a flame had shot through my body. I screamed, but I had no voice."

Police said the first case of milk being contaminated was in Foligno, Umbria.

Time to order the on-tap water purifier and stop purchasing bottles water.

"Nobody has claimed responsibility. Police are inclined to suspect the poisonings may be the work of one of the radical anti-capitalist "environmentalist" groups that operate here."

Poisening bottled water doesn't sound at all like an 'eco-terrorist', sounds more like the 'religion of peace' to me.

That's the LAST group I would suspect of poisoning bottled water. Every time I see those guys they're drinking bottled water. "It's natural".

It will be easy for them to do it in the United States.

A year or two ago someone was getting their rocks off by putting oven cleaner and windex on or around the caps of soda bottles.
Usually Coke and Pepsi.
Didn't make the news because they didn't feel it was newsworthy.
No, the perp never was caught and stopped as suddenly as it started.

Barefoot prints leading to and from the scene of the crime

Fairly simple to solve.
Pressurize the container, just a little, with an inert gas like argon.
Instruct people that if is dosent hiss when you open dont drink it.....

Great. I have reservations at Cesca on Saturday night. Now I can't have my Pelegrino.

Not to worry many Italians haven't drank water in decades. They prefer vino. :)

That explains why the socialist media in this country are completely ignoring this story.

At the bottom of the label was found the cryptic mesage: "Bottled in Paris"

Great timing, I just returned from ten days there yesterday.
