Ricin scare: guns 'n' anarchy
Let's see...ricin, guns, and an anarchist textbook. Someone took in one too many Celine Dion shows?
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Firearms and an "anarchist type textbook" were found in the same motel room where several vials of the deadly toxin ricin was found, police said Friday.
The room was most recently occupied by a 57-year-old man who has been in critical condition with breathing problems at a hospital for more than two weeks.
Las Vegas police said there was no apparent link to terrorist activity, and no indication of any spread of the deadly substance beyond the several vials of powder found in a plastic bag in the man's room on Thursday. But what the ricin was doing there remained a mystery.
A pinprick of ricin is enough to kill.
