At least 78 people have become ill in a gas attack on a store in St Petersburg, Russia.
Dozens of people, suffering breathing difficulties and sickness, have been taken to hospital.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said the shop, belonging to the Maksidom chain, was among four stores targeted.
The mystery gas was released in one of the four stores, the Federal Security Service said.
Employees in the three other stores found boxes with wires and timers, but had managed to dispose of them.
The stores specialise in home goods.

Ever since 9/11 my biggest fear has been small pox released in a mall ventilation system. Think about it - little to no security or if there is, how hard would it be to get THAT job.
Christmas time would be the prime time as well...

I have that book, too. Do you happen to know what of Aquinas' writings about the death of Christ were those for which he was divinely congratulated?
Cheers!

Full Disclosure: You are the first person I have ever talked to on FR who had any idea what that book was... A long, long time ago (in Internet years) some other Freeper wandered across and posted my hastily scribbled notes on The Servile State. It was mostly ignored, especially because Belloc recommended likely-unworkable and possibly unjust confiscatory taxes. (I think?)
I no longer remember the exact happenings in that episode of Aquinas' life.

Oh well, you play with the devil and you pay the consequences.Does that apply to us also for helping Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the KLA and the PLO?

You need to look up Saudi Arabia and nukes. Seems the Saudies (who according to Lybia are getting aid from Pakistan, just like Iran and Egypt and formerly Lybia) told the UN Nuke commission to shove it up its arse and that no one is going to inspect anything of theres. Oh and they already own over 120 medium range ballistic missile. By the way, didn't hear a word out of DC on this, neither party. Those $50+ million the Saudis spend did its work. Of course it'll be a bit more expensive to clean up the dead and glowing in NYC from a Saudi bomb that gets 'stolen', now won't it?

Belive me, if these gas attacks start committing mass casualties in Russia, the Russians are sure to loose a nuke or two on what ever nation is determined to be aiding the scum.

Just remember, every time you go to Walmart, Target, etc, that the number ONE supporter of China is the American consumer, plain and simple.

Time now for US, Russia, Israel and India to come together to take out the Chinese communist empire and the Islamic Ummah.
To: jb6; indcons
Remminds me of the deadly Beslan massacre. I support any and every move Russia makes to wipe out Muslims. India-Russia backed Northan alliance drove out the Talibans, we need to do the same in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Have a look at this short Flash presentation produced by some Indians regarding the Paki Nuke program. Has some interesting points, despite the fact that it was produced as a kind of 'humorous' presentation.
Pakistan's Nuke
Looks like they think the Libyans gave up on their Paki-technology program is because it wouldn't work!

Putin is continuing to support all our enemies with the hope that the alligator will eat him last. He is too much in love with himself and his hope for a legacy.

That was lead by American Special Forces, and while Russia contributed to the Northern Alliance with tank crews and materials I never heard any of my buddies say one word about India helping.

"also make aspirin tampering"
Do you think those goodhearted, bluff Russians could have been involved in that?

"Sounds more like an attack on these stores than an attack on the country."
LOL! Russian style capitalist competition! When their CEO says, "We are going to kill these guys," they mean it literally.
