In a world where nukes and terriorists are seen as the biggest threat,
it seems man made poisons (which Russia seems to have the upper hand
on) have been overlooked.

Sergei Skripal, 66, and Yulia Skripal, 33, remain in a critical
but stable condition after being found slumped on a bench
near the Maltings shopping centre in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on Sunday 4 March.
A police officer who fell ill tending to the pair remains seriously
ill in hospital, while another person is being treated as an outpatient.
Theresa May said the chemical used in the attack had been
identified as being part of a group of nerve agents developed
by Russia known as Novichok.
Russia failed to meet Tuesday's deadline to provide a credible
explanation over the origins of the substance and Mrs May has
invoked several sanctions to send a "clear message".
Police have been treating the case as attempted murder.
Traces of the nerve agent were found at the Mill pub and Zizzi restaurant, where
the Skripals spent the afternoon.
Eyewitness Jamie Paine said he saw a woman on a bench frothing at the
mouth and her eyes "were wide open but completely white".
A doctor, who was shopping with her husband in the city centre on Sunday,
said Ms Skripal was "slumped in her seat, completely unconscious" and had
lost control of her bodily functions.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, head of counter-terrorism operations,
said the Skripals had been "targeted specifically".

restaurant, the BBC has learned.
The table, along with other items, has been removed and destroyed.
