Truck in Mexico hauling Cyanide is found
Mexican police found a stolen truck on Thursday that had been
carrying 10 tons of sodium cyanide, but most of the deadly chemicals
were missing.
The Environmental Ministry urged border guards to take precautions
to ensure that large amounts of the chemical weren't smuggled
out of the country. Officials called the alert "precautionary"
and said there was no evidence any sodium cyanide had left Mexico.
Authorities cordoned off the area around where the truck was
discovered, abandoned along a highway in Zacatlan, about 120 miles
northwest of Mexico City in central Puebla state.
Only about half a ton of the cyanide, contained in barrels, was
still inside the truck and investigators were searching for the
remainder, police said
