In my view it makes nobody a liar as BZ is confirmed to be present - just as the Russian bloke said

They would have known why it was there.

What planet are you on Carth? BZ was present in the control sample prepared by the Labs, not in the sample collected from the scene.


From the report.

10 The results of analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and
biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United
Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and
severely injured three people.
11. The TAV team notes that the toxic chemical was of high purity. The latter is
concluded from the almost complete absence of impurities.

To be honest I've no idea what planet I'm on, it certainly isn't the one I grew up on.

I'm too old for this game so yep, the Russians did it . . . along with getting Trump elected, Brexit vote success, and the Accrington promotion . . .





. . although Brexit could have been an own goal

[Carth]

So . . .

yet another fascinating series let down by its lack of continuity

It's like getting absorbed in a really good book, only to find the last chapter is missing



I don't suppose anyone has found any updated info?

BREAKING: OPCW Release Statement on Amount of Nerve Agent used in Salisbury was that the OPCW Technical Assistance Visit team concluded that the chemical substance found was of high purity, persistent and resistant to weather conditions.:

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 4 May 2018 — In response to questions from the media, the OPCW Spokesperson stated that the OPCW would not be able to estimate or determine the amount of the nerve agent that was used in Salisbury on 4 March 2018. The quantity should probably be characterised in milligrams. However, the analysis of samples collected by the OPCW Technical Assistance Visit team concluded that the chemical substance found was of high purity, persistent and resistant to weather conditions.

This is getting embarrassing. . . high purity, persistent and resistant to weather conditions. . . people should be dead if everything said about this 'nerve agent' is to be believed.

Depends exactly how engineered it was Carth and the more complex the engineering of it the less facilities are capable of producing it this information may seem vague but it just narrowed the list of facilities it could have come from.

If anyone is still remotely interested in this, Sergei Skripal was released from hospital today.

“But let’s not forget, the fact that all three victims of this incident have been discharged from hospital does not alter the fact this was a brazen and reckless attack - attempted murder - using an illegal chemical weapon.”

A bit complacent...

Investigation is still continuing on this it hasn't just been dropped because the media have moved onto other things.

A man and woman are in a critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance, which counter terrorism officers are investigating.

Not sure I'd call 10 miles, "near". In fact Porton Down is nearer, at just 5 miles away. Coincidence?

It's a bit weird if it's not some sort of spread from the original poisoning.

It's even weirder that Porton Down is so near to both sites.

I heard that the house was a newly built unit so it *could* be building product residues or even a carbon monoxide leak.

It's easy for the mass media to make 2+2 = 5
