Terrorists may use Pens filled with poison gases
FOXNews ^ | March 3, 2004 | FoxNews Breaking News

Posted on 03/03/2004 7:06:24 PM PST by FairOpinion

FoxNews obtained an FBI bulletin, which warns law enforcement, that terrorists may use pens, where instead of the cartridge, they have small cannisters filled with poison gas, such as cyanide, ricin, etc.

They found one such weapon on an Islamic terrorist.

Not on the website yet.

FoxNews either didn't say, or I didn't catch it.

They even showed a pen and the little cannisters filled with poison, intimating, that was what they found on the terrorist.

They said that the person who broke the pen open initially got ill, but no other detail.

But if they found one terrorist with that stuff, there probably are more.

You are right -- it was just a couple minutes report, they may have said gas, then chemical weapons.

Did anyone else see this?

I am always frustrated, when I see such breaking news on Fox, then nothing on the web, nothing anywhere./

But I did NOT imagine it!

If they're down to stabbing us with ball point pens, I think we're winning the war.

India. You didn't ask the date. December. They didn't say what year (grin), I assume Dec. 2003.
