Law enforcement recently discovered a powdered form of ricin in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Ricin is one of the deadliest poisons around, and one which was famously used as a Bulgarian bioweapon in the late '70s. Despite comments to the contrary from investigators, the guy renting the room – currently hospitalized in critical condition – was clearly planning to kill a few people as he also had firearms and an anarchist-type textbook lying around his room at the Extended Stay America hotel, one mile west of the Strip. The New York Times has the full story.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a Health Advisory in response to this situation.
