| #5 N. Korea: Jeez as someone who has worked with sodium cyanide for a number of years, it always seems that much is made of some company, group etc aquiring cyanid. That is correct. The Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal involved cyanide. A lot of industrial chemicals are pretty toxic, which is why trucks containing these materials usually have lots of warnings plastered on them. |

| #4 Jeez as someone who has worked with sodium cyanide for a number of years, it always seems that much is made of some company, group etc aquiring cyanid. It is use in all sorts of chemical reactions that have nothing to do with nerve gas. The mining industry in the U.S. uses thousands of tons per year, it can be made by a number of reactions and costs less than a dollar a pound in ton lots. Its like saying that someone buys gasoline is going to make molotov cocktails with it. By the way cyanide is not used to make nerve gas. |
