What the heck is the name of that rocket propellant ...OK,got it:
hydrazine or hydrazide .
Hydrazine (think that's the correct name) was used in an attempt to intimidate the courts in Luxemburg last year. Some police officers were hospitalized.The mailer had something to do with al-Qaeda,and the court was trying some al-Qaeda defendants.

Just a quick follow-up: There were 10 letters,laced with hydrazine (rocket fuel,insecticide ingredient,industrial chemical) and phenarsazine chloride ( arsenic derivative used in rat poisons and/or nerve gas).
The court in Brussels had 23 al-Qaeda suspects on trial at the time.
The letters were traced to an Iraqi national,who was arrested.
