    Deeply concerning development in Germany. Never before to my knowledge has a jihadi in the West successfully produced ricin. If this initial finding is confirmed a new threshold has been crossed in the chemical terror threat.https://twitter.com/daniel_heinke/status/1007196634495750144 …

        One question that should be asked of German authorities is whether a false positive for ricin has been ruled out. We should all recall the 2003 "Wood Green" case in London: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4433499.stm …

        "when the team from Porton Down entered the Wood Green flat in January 2003, their field equipment registered the presence of ricin. But these were high sensitivity field detectors ... A few days later in the lab, the team found that there was no ricin."https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/apr/14/alqaida.terrorism?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard …

        For your info, there was a possible ricin plot foiled recently in France even if everything was at really early stage and we don't know for sure that ricin would have been chosen as the weapon.http://www.europe1.fr/societe/attentat-dejoue-un-des-deux-egyptiens-mis-en-examen-et-ecroue-lautre-libere-3655904 …

        French MoI said that either ricin or explosives were supposed to be the weapon of the planned attack.

        "Ricin is part of the waste "mash" produced when castor oil is made. Ricin is a poison protein found naturally in castor beans from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis).

        Most likely a dry run. They are testing to see what they can get away with.

        It's been reported in the past that terrorists do what is called a dry run or a test run to see if people are paying attention to them. It's usually a smaller scale attack in hopes for an even bigger one later.

        ...why, literally any terrorist attack, be it as fancy or as menial as possible, gets ridiculous and undeserved media and public attention.

        I agree. I'm not saying this was a dry run for sure. But they have done them in the past.
