North Korea, One of the member of so called Axis of evil, is caught in another controversy. Chinese authority claim that they have detected deadly nerve gas Sarin on Korean border.

If this is found true, it is clear indication that Noth Korea do have multidimensional strategy to keep there neighbours busy. Afeter much hyped Nuclear issue, this Nerve gas is definitely going to open new debate.

China has detected deadly nerve gas at its border with North Korea and suspects an accidental release inside the secretive state, a

Japanese news report said on Friday.

The Chinese military is strengthening its surveillance activities after detecting the highly virulent sarin gas in November last year and in February in Liaoning province, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported, citing anonymous sources from the Chinese military.

Sarin gas, which was developed in Germany before World War I, was used in the deadly 1995 nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway by a doomsday cult.

The Chinese special operations forces found 0.015-0.03 microgrammes of the gas per cubic metre when they were conducting regular surveys while there were winds from the direction of North Korea, the report said.

China suspects that there were some experiments or accidents in its neighbouring country, it said.

I would not expect to really, China doesn't like for its people to worry about things beyond their control (or so it seems to me )
