Mexico: Police Discover Truck Missing Tons of Sodium Cyanide In the south central Mexican state of Puebla yesterday, police found a stolen truck that had held 10 tons of potentially lethal sodium cyanide but was now missing most of it. Only one-half ton of the chemical remained in the truck. Law enforcement officials were searching for the rest. Police have not arrested anyone for stealing the truck, but witnesses said three armed men stole the vehicle May 10, said Frederico Perez, director of police in Hidalgo state near Puebla. Sodium cyanide is used in gold and silver mining but is also lethal if inhaled or ingested (Associated Press/Los Angeles Times, May 17).
