‘Ricin’ found in Vegas motel room

Another story from the BBC:

A deadly toxin thought to contain ricin has been discovered at a motel in Las Vegas, police say.

A man had brought the substance to the manager of the Extended Stay America Motel saying he had found it in his room, according to authorities.

They do not believe that the incident is related to terrorism.

Three motel employees and one other person - all said to be in good condition - were quarantined and decontaminated, then taken to hospital.
