#2 That it involves Muzzies, in one way or another, I figure is indisputable. Actually, I'm thinking they're jealous that the Russians [insert appropriate military / law enforcement entity here] hold the death of innocents by gas record.

#3 Fox News sez the Russers are claiming it's gangsters.

#4 the Russians [insert appropriate military / law enforcement entity here] hold the death of innocents by gas record.

I thought that was Saddam's for attacks on Kurdish towns.

#5 i think gangsters would be more efficient and there would be more deaths

#6 I believe that "gangster" is just a semi-generic criminal term like "hooligan" for them. They're not going to be more specific until they have evidence pointing in some direction.

#7 Gas is Methyl Mercaptan (evil smelling stuff added to natural gas so that you can detect a leak).

According to reports, this is a "business dispute"

Only in Russia .......

#8 Why would *any* villain, Muslim or otherwise, use a "mystery" gas, when AFAIK there are enough non-mystery gasses that can kill effectively?

Perhaps I'm being a conspiracist here, but "mystery gasses" indicate to me that the cause for this event was using people as guinea-pigs, for experimentation.

In which case the Russian government itself is the primary suspect -- it has played with "mystery gasses" in the past as well.

#9 Oops, apologies, only now read the article and saw that the gas has been identified. This negates most of the point I made above.
