The poison ricin has been found inside a locker at the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris. Ricin, a toxin found in castor beans, is 6,000 times more powerful than cyanide and can be ingested or inhaled. Officials say there were “two vials with a powder, a bottle filled with a liquid and two smaller bottles also containing a liquid” in the locker. The powder turned out to be iron perchloride, which is used for explosives, and there was also a small bottle of cyanide. French police had been watching the locker where the ricin was found, and hoped to arrest the terrorist when he came back to open it, but no one arrived.

Now, whether consciously or in response to unspoken inner kowledge, the Pentagon has named its overwhelming assault after this legendary power.

But we do not know how to solve our problems without deadly conflict. Let us pray that this war will be mercifully short and bloodless. The Prayer Group?s current intention is to pray that the war with Iraq may kill few and end fast. Join us.
