Yeah, let’s rule out the possibility of terrorism, especially Islamic terrorism,

before any investigation has been done.

Let me guess, some worker admitted to accidentally spilling the ricin in the rooms, that’s how we know it wasn’t terrorism.

nothing to see here just move along./s/

The most famous, and successful use of bioterrorism on U.S. soil occurred during September 1984, when followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh contaminated salad bars in The Dalles, Oregon with Salmonella Typhimurium. Over 750 cases of salmonellosis were determined to be caused by the salad bar contamination. It was later discovered that the Rajneeshpuram cult wanted to influence the local county commissioners election, so as to form their own township. The September bioterrorism act was a trial run for the planned November election attack, which was later canceled, as the plan seemed to be ineffective. The cult members obtained the Salmonella strain through the mail from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).

The Japanese doomsday cult, AumShinrikyo, while seeking to establish a theocratic state in Japan, released sarin gas in Tokyo subway stations in 1995. They were later discovered to have developed and attempted to use other chemical agents (VX gas and hydrogen cyanide) and biological agents (B. anthracis, Coxiella burnetii, Ebola virus, and botulinum toxin) on at least ten other occasions. Their multiple attacks using sarin gas killed at least 20 people and injured more than 1,000 others.
