It has the makings of international intrigue. Less than two weeks before the Democratic National Convention a man has been found dead in a Denver hotel room with a container of what authorities initially suspect to be the deadly poison cyanide.
Adding to the intrigue is that the dead man, Saleman Abdirahman Dirie, 29, appears to be from outside the U.S. No passport was found on Dirie, who is believed to have entered the country from Canada.
A large container of a white powdery substance was found in the man's room on the fourth floor of the Burnsley Hotel at 10th and Grant.
Tests are now being done by the Denver Police Crime Lab to determine exactly what the substance is. The tests could take days.
It is not clear if the man died from the substance or some other cause.
Denver police are leading the investigation of the man's death. The FBI and other governmental agencies, including the Joint Terrorism Task Force, are assisting in the probe. Hazardous materials assistance has included the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado National Guard.
FBI Special Agent in Charge James Davis told CBS 4 that nothing so far has been found to link the case to terrorism or the coming convention.
The investigation is continuing.

rat's, like the French, are motivated to inaction by fear. Because of this malfunction in the genes that produced their sense of self-preservation, they fear displeasing the terrorists will cause violence. rats are the battered wife to the muslim terrorists violent husband. There need be no infraction to receive a beating. In the mind of the husband this keeps the wife trying to find new ways to please. In many ways the radical Obama rats probably feel they deserve to be tortured and their heads cut off on video to the cries of "Allah Akbar."
Thank you piasa.
I do appreciate the ping.
Plastic bag, touch of Muriatic acid, and a feral cat and we’d know in about 45 seconds!
Apparently, it is now SOP for FBI spokespersons to act as if they have an IQ of 20, and to be a full member of the Kerstone Kops.
No actual thinking allowed.
Many a dem I know has said his book is what turned them to swearing allegiance Obama.
First urine and feces balloons, and now cyanide. The Dems sure know how to throw a party.
Axe me no questions...
The FBI is investigating the death of an Ottawa man in a downtown Denver hotel room from apparent cyanide poisoning.
A hazardous materials team removed the bottle of white powder from Room 408. Authorities are still trying to determine if it’s cyanide. Tests are now being done by the Denver Police Crime Lab to determine the nature of the substance. The tests could take days.
Dirie was a member of Ottawa’s Somali community and attended the Somali Centre for Family Services, said manager Addirizuk Karod.
“He came to the centre with friends,” he said.
Dirie’s brother Hassan Dirie worked for Thrifty Car Rental on Bank St., but recently moved to Vancouver, Karod said.
Members of the tight-knit community were trying to reach him yesterday but he wasn’t answering his phone. Dirie had been dead for six days when he was found, he said.
“How come nobody in the hotel noticed that he wasn’t coming or going?” he asked.
The Dirie family came to Ottawa as refugees years ago and had since become Canadian citizens, he said. Dirie’s father Abdirahman, who also lives in Ottawa, travelled to Denver when he received the news, he said.
The FBI and other governmental agencies, including the Joint Terrorism Task Force, are assisting in the investigation. Hazardous materials assistance has included the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado National Guard.
The Democratic National Convention opens in Denver this month, but The Burnsley is not on the list of hotels where delegates are staying.
Karod said the Ottawa Somali community will want answers.
“Everyone will be upset and will want to know what happened,” he said.

Thanks for the ping
that hushed up pretty fast.. and now this. I think that there is a lot not said. Who makes up large batches of
poison for a single suicide.
Your welcome.
Maybe there was a sale if he bought in bulk? “Economy size”.
Thanks for the ping.

I missed hearing whether Dirie was an Obama or a Hillary supporter.
