Russers nab Chechen with 18 pounds of mercury...
2002-10-31
A suspected Chechen terrorist was arrested in Moscow carrying 18 pounds of poisonous mercury while allegedly planning a new attack. Sergei Krym-Gerei, allegedly a member of a gang led by prominent Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, was carrying the mercury in a bottle when he was arrested. He has refused to answer questions. "Such an amount of mercury would poison a very large number of people," police spokesman Filipp Zolotnitsky said on NTV television. Krym-Gerei, 36, from Russia's North Caucasus region, was detained several days ago by police acting on a tip, he said.
I'm not sure if I'd make him drink the entire 18 pounds or just dunk him in it a couple times. Luckily, I'm not in charge, so I don't have to make the decision...

#3  No doubt a precursor to the newest Chechen economic plan in which the economy will be based on the future of rectal thermometers.

#1  In addition, there's also the little-known, but extremely painful, Mercury enema procedure.
