Yemen, "Al-Qaeda," engaged in the production of ricin poison deadly to carry out attacks in the U.S.. This conclusion, as reported by The New York Times, came to American counterterrorism experts. According to the U.S. for about a year, Yemeni militants are busy collecting seeds castor beans, from which you can get poison. The plans of the terrorists – to attach container with ricin to small bombs and detonate them in enclosed spaces such as airports, department stores, subway stations. For the first time about the threat of U.S. President Barack Obama and the leaders of the national security services warned in late 2010. However, according to experts, castor threat is still not inevitable, because the extremists have not yet succeeded in creating an effective chemical weapons on the basis of the poison. In addition, the material loses its properties in a clear and hot conditions that make it difficult for the production and storage of ricin in Yemen. Finally, ricin causes death if released into the blood and the respiratory tract, but is almost absorbed by the skin. On castor threat to American media have already written in December 2010. Then, however, reported that the terrorists had intended to poison food in cafes and restaurants.
