Could you please direct me to the number?



I have been going back and forth among several sites.

Found this on Mutters and thought about those bottles found in the Philly subway last summer:

"Fears grow over al-Qaida gassing American subways
Senior operative told of training to spread cyanide in AC systems "
July 3, 2004
As the FBI warns police across the country that al-Qaida continues to show interest in attacking U.S. subways, new intelligence has emerged that al-Qaida has trained operatives to dispense poisonous gases such as cyanide in ventilation systems.

Buried in one of the recently released staff reports by the 9-11 Commission is a chilling account of some of the experimentation in methods of mass murder conducted at al-Qaida camps.

"The camps created a climate in which trainees and other personnel were free to think creatively about ways to commit mass murder," according to Staff Statement No. 15, titled "Overview of the Enemy."

"According to a senior al-Qaida associate, various ideas were floated by mujahidin in Afghanistan," the report added, including "mounting mustard gas or cyanide attacks against Jewish areas in Iran" and "dispensing poison gas into the air conditioning system of a targeted building."

The disclosure by the al-Qaida agent may explain why the FBI has warned law enforcement authorities to be on alert for signs of a biological or chemical attack against the homeland by al-Qaida terrorists.

Unexplained or unusual odors, such as the smell of "bitter almonds," are among "potential indicators of threats involving" chemical weapons such as cyanide gas, according to a security advisory issued in late December by the FBI counterterrorism division here. WorldNetDaily obtained a copy of the report labeled "law enforcement sensitive."

An earlier U.S. homeland security report, dated Nov. 21, said the terrorists have designed a "crude chemical dispersal device" fabricated from commonly available materials, which is designed to asphyxiate its victims, as WorldNetDaily also first reported. The device can produce both cyanogen chloride gas and hydrogen cyanide gas, which gives off a bitter almond smell, the report said.
