More from the AP:
A Dutch prosecutor has told The Associated Press that preliminary tests show that a container from which a Croat war criminal drank shortly before dying contained a deadly chemical.
Prosecutor Marilyn Fikenscher said in a telephone interview Thursday that, “there was a preliminary test of the substance in the container and all I can say for now is that there was a chemical substance in that container that can cause death.”
