The discovery of unmentioned quantities (or only traces?) of ricin, a potentially lethal poison extracted from  castor seeds, during a raid on a flat in Wood Green, North London, by the British security agencies on January 5, 2003, and the arrest of at least nine North Africans, six of them stated to be Algerians, in this connection have their positive as well as negative aspects.
