i have a question here does anyone know what thallium is used for? it can be readily found in rat and ant poison (not in the US) so as far as this being a WMD i find it highly unlikly. i would ind it morelikly that these terroist did hat they do best, took what they had at hand and used it. the roadside bombs were not designed to be used in the metod thay were used but rather with a little inguinuity they were able to take an artillary shell and make it a remote detonated device. so would it not also be concievable that they take a box of rat poison and turn it into a weopon?

had this been mustard gas, nerve agent, blister agent, or a bio weopon and killed 200 people well i would go with the wmd. also this had 8 victoms, they could have also concievably came into contact with it accidently
