"CNN releases videotapes, allegedly made by al-Qa`ida, showing dogs being killed by unidentified toxic chemicals (experts believe either a crude nerve agent or hydrogen cyanide gas is used)."
Now, to google hydrogen cyanide gas...

Al-Qaeda's possession of cyanide is certain. Several purchases of the substance has been made in recent years. [19] What would it be used for? Many things. For example, Italian authorities foiled a plot by nine Moroccans to poison the water supply of the US embassy in Rome.

[20] Al-Qaeda operatives in England were arrested discussing a plot involving a "poisonous invisible gas", probably cyanide. Terrorists operating in Germany, Britain, and Italy were arrested in a plan to use tomatoes to transport a "liquid that suffocates people". The apparent leader of the plan, a Libyan, was arrested and led the foiling of the attack. The target was believed to be an American government building in either Rome or London or both. The terrorists sought to use ten liters of cyanide to spill into the ventilation ducts.

[21] Convicted terrorist, Ahmed Ressam said during his trial that when he was in Al-Qaeda camps, the militants were taught how to pump gases including cyanide into an office building's ventilation system.

[22] The supplies of cyanide can come from many sources.

On August 22, 2002, it was reported that Argentinian police were searching for 20 tons of cyanide that was stolen from a truck near Buenos Aires. The vehicle was later found, but the container handling the cyanide was now handling other items in the truck. This occurred around the same time as the seizure of the Mexican truck with tons of cyanide. Although that truck and most of the cyanide was eventually recovered, a large portion of the substance was still missing- more than enough for one or more large terrorist attacks.

Do you recall all the barrels of insecticide that were found when we were searching Iraq for WMD, they would be sure that the latest find was "The Big ONE" and then declare it to be insecticide.

I was quite taken with the report that Deet, could be the cause of the "Gulf War Syndrome".

It is in my post #1877, at Nuc News.

To set the record on the use of nuclear electric plants, I don't know how I feel about it, have been on both sides of the fence for many years.

But I do think that the link to the Yahoo Group for Nuc News should be watched, there are a few reports there, that are not at other sites on todays news, or that I would not have searched for.

i didn't join, but have put them on my tool bar, so that I will check them more often and not forget them.

In the last week, there was a report that the web sites that told how to mix-use cyanide had been removed, they were terrorist as I recall.

Either at Sean's site or the Hagnhah site......maybe. I don't have the correct spelling or URL.
