Re: Ricin Possibly Found at Las Vegas Motel



Big chain.

I believe there are two here in Las Vegas. I have stayed in the one on
Valley View just south of the Rio and the place was fine. Extended Stay
America is pretty much an apartment type motel with complete kitchen
facilities and separate bedrooms. For families, it is quite popular and is
also used by people who first move to Las Vegas looking for work.

I doubt this incident will raise much interest. More people are concerned
about the suicide at the Strat which occurred Thursday.

Snip:
LAS VEGAS - A substance found at a motel may be the deadly toxin
ricin, but authorities said Friday they don't believe it was intended
for a terrorist attack. Lab tests on the substance were pending and
seven people were taken to hospitals as a precaution.

"This event does not appear to be terrorism related," FBI spokesman
Richard Kolko in Washington said Friday morning. Kolko said the FBI
was assisting local police in the investigation.

Police were called to the Extended Stay America Motel on Thursday and
retrieved a package from the motel manager that was determined to be a
chemical or controlled substance, Officer Ramon Denby said.
