This is a follow up from your CNN link:

I understand from media reports it was sort of a white powder, like a container with white powder, and people who know about this chemical also say that it is a chemical that is extremely dangerous, mainly because it is very difficult to detect, and very difficult to smell. If you put this powder, this composite, in water, you won't be able to see it, you won't be able to smell it, you won't be able to taste it, if you drink the water.
So therefore, investigators here are very concerned about what exactly the suspects had been arrested with and what they were going to do with this kind of powder. As you said, they had also been found with the map of the city of Rome with the U.S. Embassy circled, and they also had a map of the underground water system .... So those suspects had the very latest information about where to hit, if indeed they wanted to hit the water main here. |
