12. North Korea has its own chemical weapons capability

The country's chemical arsenal ranks third, behind the US and Russia, according to the Nuclear Threat Initiative project.

Its most recent report put North Korea's estimated chemical weapons stores at 2,500 - some 5,000 tons.

Pyongyang denies it has any such weapons, but research sponsored by the South Korean government says it has four military bases equipped with chemical weapons, 11 facilities to produce and store them, and 13 dedicated research and development facilities.

The regime's production is said to focus on Sarin gas and VX, one of the deadliest chemical agents ever manufactured.

6. egad

7. Nope, the girl didn't know what she had. Thought it was a prank

She had been involved in several situations like this for a tv show and thought it was just another prank. You know the people that prepared it were not anywhere near the incident and didn't care anything for the girl. She was lucky she didn't die too.

9. if that is the case she is lucky to be alive

if she thought it was harmless, no reason to be careful about not touching.

10. That was probably hoped for

That was a good way to keep anyone from finding out how the event was planned and played out. I think I read the girl was involved in some sort of tv show and was well known for these sort of pranks.

8. You just wonder, Why? and so public too? Very strange in all.

11. I suspect the public nature of the hit will prove to have been

an important part of the murder...
