    BEIJING (Reuters) - Two hapless Chinese thieves gassed themselves to death with cyanide along with five intended victims while trying to rob a gambling den in the city of Ruichang, the Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday. A court in nearby Jiujiang on Thursday sentenced their three surviving accomplices to death for the robbery, carried out last June. One of the three passed out for several hours from the effects of the gas -- but still remembered to rob the dead of 15,950 yuan (1,090 pounds), five mobile phones and a gold necklace when he came round, Xinhua said.

    The hemorrhaging circulation of the paleomedia gratifies me better than bubblegum. Lord I love it. The tube worms of the network suites have discovered that lo! Fewer of the citizenry sit nightly before the flickering propaganda modem. The readership of newspapers yet falls. This dereliction they ascribe to declining literacy, the lack of public spirit, and indeed anything but their own uselessness. Such thunder-buckets as Rupert Murdoch, noting that people go to the web, frantically buy web properties. It is not the abysmal content of the media, see, that turns people away. We just want our sewage through a different...

    Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans. They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate. Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been...
  • Cyanide victims think 'poison' warning a slogan

    TAIPEI - A man in Taiwan has died and four others were poisoned after drinking a popular bottled fizzy drink laced with cyanide and labelled "I am poisonous. Please do not drink." Some of the victims thought the warning was a new advertising slogan, police said on Thursday. The manufacturer of Bullwild energy drink, Paolyta Co., ordered an island-wide recall of about 1.2 million to 1.6 million bottles. The drink, which is popular among taxi drivers and workers, has also been taken off shelves in Hong Kong and Macau. Police suspect someone laced the drink with cyanide before placing it...

    The mystery surrounding the suicide of Nazi leader Hermann Goering that has befuddled historians for almost 60 years may have been solved by a conscience-stricken ex-GI who confesses that he gave Goering the cyanide capsule he used to kill himself on October 15, 1946. "I feel very bad about it," Herbert Lee Stivers told the Los Angeles Times, adding that it all came about because of a flirtation with a mysterious German girl. Stivers served as guard at the Nuremberg war crimes trials in 1946 where Goering, No. 2 man in Hitler's Nazi regime, was on trial with 21 other...

    JEMAAH Islamiah's attempts to develop bio-chem weapons to increase the devastation of future terror attacks must be taken seriously, a senior security analyst believes. A JI bio-chem instruction manual uncovered during a raid in the Philippines last year was among the most concerning intelligence to be picked up on the group, terrorism analyst Rohan Gunaratna will tell an Australian emergency medicine conference in Adelaide today. The 28-page document and traces of chemicals were found during the raid on a JI safe house in the village of Cotabato in October last year. The manual discusses obtaining cyanide and arsenic and their...

    Suquamish -- She left behind what she could -- a name, a city, a marriage. Other things -- the newspaper articles, photos and, oddly, a candle blessed by the man before he was a demon -- she neatly labeled and filed away. That's how a legal secretary defeats chaos. The rest of the baggage resisted abandonment. It wouldn't be organized and layered into boxes. Guilt is as tenacious as a shadow, as slowly corrosive as salt air. The former Joyce Shaw didn't know this when she fled Jim Jones' Peoples Temple in 1976. She's learned it since. Yesterday, on the...

    Liberals on Capitol Hill and in the media are screaming, "Where are the weapons?" Since the White House had argued that disarming Saddam was the main reason for going to war, not finding his forbidden weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) all lined up like prizes at a seaside shooting gallery has excited the president's political enemies to cry foul. Ewan Buchanan, spokesman for chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix, assures Insight that "it's far too early to tell" whether forbidden weapons remain in Iraq or where they might be. "It doesn't surprise me that U.S. forces haven't found anything yet....

    SEOUL: Lawmakers here said on Saturday that South Korea and Thailand in May stopped a shipment to North Korea of sodium cyanide, a chemical that could be used to produce deadly sarin gas. Representative Park Sung-Vum and Kim Jae-Won of the opposition Grand National Party said South Korean authorities learned that 142.4 tons of the chemical were about to be re-exported to North Korea via Thailand. The 142.4 tons were from some 773 tons of sodium cyanide produced in South Korea and exported to a Thai firm in four shipments between February and April this year. Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon...

    Local Man Charged With Possession Of Chemical Weapon Chemist Is Former U.S. Army Employee KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An Independence man has been charged with possessing a chemical weapon, but prosecutors won't say what he allegedly may have planned to do with the potassium cyanide. The chemical was discovered in his apartment in February, authorities said. A federal grand jury in Kansas City indicted Hessam Ghane, 53. He's a naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran who holds a doctorate in chemistry, KMBC's Peggy Breit reported. The indictment was unsealed Friday, when Ghane was arrested and made his first appearance in...

    TYLER -- An itinerate gun dealer caught with a cache of poison gas, machine guns and other weapons in an East Texas storage facility was sentenced Tuesday to more than 11 years in federal prison. But William J. Krar's motives, and those of his common-law wife, Judith Bruey, remain unknown to federal officials, who cast the case as a victory against domestic terrorism. "To the extent there was any plot to use these weapons, that plot was thwarted," said U.S. Attorney Matthew Orwig of the Eastern District of Texas. The couple has given only limited statements to investigators since their...

    Sixteen years ago today, 5,000 innocent Iraqi civilians perished under a barrage of mustard gas; nerve agents sarin, tabun and VX; and possibly cyanide. The brutal attack, launched by their own government, earned Saddam Hussein the dubious distinction of becoming the first world leader in modern times to have used chemical weapons on his own people. The victims of the attack were residents of Halabja, 150 miles northeast of Baghdad and just south of the Iranian border. Three-quarters of them were women and children. The chemical attacks on what has come to be known as "Bloody Friday" were the most...

    WASHINGTON - U.S. forces in Iraq found seven pounds of cyanide during a raid late last month on a Baghdad house believed connected to an al-Qaida operative, U.S. officials said. The cyanide salt was in either one or several small bricks, and U.S. officials said they believe it was to have been used in an attack on U.S. or allied interests. Cyanide is extremely toxic and can be used as a chemical weapon, although it was unclear if the cyanide was in a form that could be used that way easily. The raid took place Jan. 23, a defense official...
