Ricin

The problem with Ricin is that it appears to be pathetically simple to make, it can be delivered in a number of ways, it is highly toxic, and there is no antidote. Instructions for the making of Ricin have been found online both in English and in Arabic. A few notable examples:

The Mujahedeen Poisons Handbook

A slick, professional e-book, distributed with its companion explosives handbook. Found inside a .zip archive on what at one time was a prominent Jihadist site. The first .zip file contained two more .zip files, inside of which were the two manuals.

Earlier in this thread the author, Delphine, noted that Ricin was deadlier than Anthrax.
