One account I read, taken from an interview with a child refugee, was of that child running to their Grandfather -- who had been poisoned and shortly thereafter died -- but the child suffered only very limited effects despite not being treated for hours.

This suggests to me that the agent used may have been degraded.

If so, it is possible that we are dealing with negligence -- weapons stored in the wrong spot/lot and not properly recorded or noted.


Mind you, negligence on that level isn't exactly a "ringing endorsement" in any way....
