Note that some of these terrorists are very educated, Siddiquihas a Ph. D.in neurological science from MIT.

"In addition, the bulletin asks police to look for Dr. Mohammed Khan, 33, and his estranged wife, 31-year-old Aafia Siddiqui, both of whom the FBI wants to question about possible terrorist ties. "
More about these two in an article from a Pakistani paper:
Pakistani couple sought in Qaeda hunt
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_27-3-2003_pg7_56 By Khalid Hasan
WASHINGTON: The FBI is seeking a Pakistani couple for its links to a Saudi resident of South Florida with suspected Al Qaeda connections.
The Bureaus Baltimore office said it was looking for Dr Aafia Siddiqui, 31, and her husband Mohammed Khan, 33, about possible terrorist activities.
The couple is suspected of having links with Adnan G El Shukrijumah, 27, who once lived in Miami but has since disappeared. The US agency believes he has links with Al Qaeda.
The FBI is looking for El Shukrijumah after an alias he used turned up in various places, including during the interrogation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Dr Siddiqui, a resident of the Boston area, is said to have visited Gaithersburg, Maryland, in December last year or January, but the FBI would not say what significance that visit had and whom she met. The agency believes she may have valuable information.
Dr Siddiqui has a PhD in neurological science and has studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University, Massachusetts, as well as at Houston, Texas. The FBI believes Dr Siddiqui is now in Pakistan. While at MIT, she wrote a paper on the mechanics of setting up a Muslim student organisation. Both she and her husband were office-bearers of the Institute of Islamic Research and Teaching Inc.
In another development, the authorities announced this week that they would be interrogating 11,000 Iraqis living in the US, most of them American citizens. The move was immediately denounced as racial profiling.

I'll never forget .. (way back in the early 60s) when most of America hadn't even heard of LSD, Life magazine did a huge pictured piece showing in detail how to make it. That article helped set off about ten years of insanity in this country.

That article helped set off about ten years of insanity in this country. Do you really believe that?
You can google up 1000 insane things to make. Is the next decade going to be 1000 times as insane? Maybe Tom Ridge should decide what we all should know and not know.

The FBI bulletin says hydrogen cyanide or chorine gas could be produced by combining liquid and solid materials,Mix chlorox and draino to clean your sink and you release chlorine gas. We see it in the emergency rooms once in awhile.

It's important to include step by step details for WMD construction. Also it should be multi-lingual, and handicap accessible. The Fedgov must subsidize the materials if terrorists cannot afford them. How dare we spend money on a war abroad when we must meet these domestic funding needs at home. Raise taxes.

Such a device would be most effective in an enclosed space, the bulletin adds, because it would be dispersed too quickly in larger areas or out in the open to kill or injure many people. But police, firefighters and medical personnel could be imperiled when responding to an attack because "the device may reactivate when it is disturbed." More goofiness.

According to the report, simple household chlorine, when added to a crusty black pantsuit, would give off toxic fumes capable of producing severe nausea and vomiting in anyone within a 2-square mile area.

The FBI bulletin says hydrogen cyanide or chorine gas could be produced by combining liquid and solid materials, possibly using a canister such as a paint can with holes pierced into it. The materials could be combined using either a blasting cap or some kind of delayed switch. Or a plastic bag with one end frozen in an ice cube. Just like the way the military taught us in our improvised weapons classes.

I was researching a statement by Jonah Goldberg, that Saddam Hussein had weaponized aflatoxin, whose only purpose would be to cause painful liver cancer in children, and I came across this website. It seems to discuss all types of bio-weapons on a page that uses gas masks for wall paper and has a missile at the bottom. The page seems to be hidden in a veternary website. Anyway it's mostly in Arabic, so take a look.

I investigated the site a little more and it appears to be an Israeli site, dedicated to protecting Israelis from WMD. It really is scarey, though with missiles and gas masks all over the place.

aflatoxin is the yellow rain suspected in cambodia. Didn't know SH was into it, but the Russians were.
It occurs naturally. see
http://www.usda.gov/gipsa/newsroom/backgrounders/b-aflatox.htm This is one of the fungi that grow in grain and causes liver cancer. Liver cancer is common in many parts of Africa from this and similar molds.
What people don't realize is that, like Anthrax, there are legitamate reasons that SH would be doing such research. (i.e. as a public health prevention program).
He is a dictatorial bastard, but like Hitler and Stalin, he took care of his people in other ways.
But as a war weapon, it would not be very useful. Takes too long to work. Lots of easier stuff to use.
