Cztery osoby zginęły, a 20 zostało rannych w piątek wieczorem w wyniku
eksplozji granatu na bazarze w jednej z południowych dzielnic Bagdadu -
podała agencja France- Presse, powołując się na źródła szpitalne.

Wśród zabitych jest 11-letnie dziecko - poinformował Zaher Turki, który
odpowiada za bezpieczeństwo w szpitalu Jarmuk.

AFP napisała, że celem ataku na bazarze przy ulicy Baja byli handlarze
alkoholem. Mieli oni dostawać pogróżki z żądaniami zaprzestania procederu w
kończącym się miesiącu muzułmańskiego postu, ramadanie.

London chemical terror plot foiled

London-based terrorists tried last year to buy half a tonne of toxic chemicals
with the aim of killing thousands.


Their plot came to light when the supplier became suspicious about the
quantities of chemicals involved.

The group attempted to buy 500 kilogrammes of saponin, a toxic product
sometimes used in laboratories to enhance the transmission of molecules
through biological cell walls.

Perhaps the best known saponin is digitalis, obtained from foxgloves. The
order was refused and police informed.

Experts said those who tried to buy the substance may have thought that mixing
it with ricin or another potent toxin would cause widespread poisoning if the
mixture was smeared on surfaces in public places.

The disclosure is a further illustration of Britain's position as a target for
terrorists.

The would-be terrorists made mistakes: the quantities they sought were so
enormous - and the reasons they gave for buying them so unbelievable - that
suspicions were immediately aroused. In addition some experts doubt that their
plot could have worked.

Jonathan Tucker, Washington-based senior researcher at the Center for
Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey Institute, said: "Even with a carrier
of some kind, I doubt it would be possible for ricin to be absorbed through
the skin because it is a large protein molecule."

The approach to purchase the chemical was made in the autumn of 2002 to
Amersham Biosciences, a subsidiary of Amersham International, by what claimed
to be a company giving a London post office box address. Ricin is highly toxic
with less than one milligramme sufficient to kill an adult, and it is
relatively simply prepared.

But its effectiveness as a biological weapon is limited because it is
difficult to absorb through the skin.

Lennart Arlinger, business development director of Amersham, said it was
possible to imagine that the would-be purchasers were looking to use
saponin "as an enhancer of the efficacy of a biological weapon".

The quantity of the order was so large that other Amersham employees said
it "raised a red flag", encouraging them to make further inquiries.

Further research showed the organisation making the order was funded by "the
Islamic community", Mr Arlinger said.

He said after the order was refused, the company informed authorities in the
UK and Sweden, where Amersham handled the order.

The effort to buy the saponin was in some ways inept. Apart from the
quantities that were ordered - 500 to 1,000 times the normal order from a
university laboratory - the explanation for the planned use of the product was
also incredible.

The group described its intended use as "a fire retardant on rice intended for
human consumption".

Traces of ricin were found in a police raid on a north London flat in January.

Seven people were arrested and four of them later charged with possession of
articles of value to terrorists and with being concerned with the production
and development of a chemical weapon.
