#1 That answers one question I had; i.e. how this couple ended up with the nerve toxin. There's still some unanswered questions.

#2 Gave his girlfriend a discarded used cosmetic bottle a present? He must be a perfect boyfriend.

#3 The poison was contained in a bottle thrown away by Russian hitmen who had used it in the attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, 67, and his daughter, Yulia, 33, the outlet reported.

#6 Frank G, sounds like you too found this part of the story a little poignant, and the least mysterious part of the picture? A vial of dehydrated garlic -- or a perfume bottle -- wouldn't last an hour on a sidewalk in downtown Anytown these days. Back to the original incident for a sec: who, at this particular juncture, might enjoy seeing Britain (and by extension, America) cheesed off at Russia?

#7 ^ I must reject this outrageous slander in the most strenuous terms! Herr Skripal was obviously poisoned by Russian product suspiciously clumsily disguised as American product suspiciously clumsily disguised as Russian product!
