For those of you that do not know, they are still finging mustard gas munitions in France and other places in Europe that are almost now 100 years old. They will still blister and/or kill you.

I found this and posted it on FR.

The article tells about how French farmers are STILL being killed by WW1 unexploded mustard gas and other shells to this day, and farther down the article, tells how collection sites set up for the collection and destruction of these old shells are being "raided", and the shells stollen, and then sold on the black market. If they are "too old and depleted" why are they being "stolen and sold" ????
