LONDON (Reuters) - A father and son are being questioned as part of an anti-terrorism operation after a substance suspected of containing the deadly poison ricin was found in a house in northern England, police said on Saturday.
The men, aged 41 and 18, were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of being involved in a far-right group.
Ricin can cause death from exposure to as little as a pinhead amount. Most victims die between 36 hours and 72 hours after exposure and there is no known antidote.
