PARIS (Reuters) - The French Interior Ministry said on Thursday that traces of the deadly toxin ricin have been found in the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris.
A spokesman told Reuters that two small flasks containing traces of the poison were discovered in a left luggage depot at the mainline railway station which serves the south of France.

In January, British anti-terrorist police arrested several people in connection with the alleged discovery of ricin in a tiny north London flat.

Ricin, one of the deadliest naturally occurring poisons, is derived from castor plant beans, which are grown worldwide to produce castor oil.

The chemical, which is many times more deadly than cyanide, is considered a likely bio-warfare agent and is on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's "B" list of agents -- considered a moderate threat.

Seems quite ironic to me. Perhaps the French will require more evidence, though.
 
This is rather serious. Ricin is a terrible substance. I hope this doesn't mean there is a cell operating. Although I do have a distaste for the French, I do wish that they are safe.

Even, if that safety is provided by the shadow of the mighty American 'hegemony' which they spite.

You live on a boat. You don't have ANYTHING to worry about. In fact, once the polar icecaps start melting, you're still going to be fine. It just means you're boat will be a little higher in the water.
 
Hmmmm.....I live on a POWER boat......no gas, no GO.
And if the polar ice caps melt, I will have no where to tie up to. The highest point on this Key is 8 foot above sea level. Hurricanes are kind of funny with the storm surge, we have buildings but no land. One time I will take a picture for you.:)
