36. Iraqi Terrorists Poisoned Food at Police Base in Numaniyah, 2006: 7 Casualties, 700 Wounded
In 2006, hundreds of Iraqi police officers became ill with food poisoning following a terrorist attack. The officers were all eating at the mess hall at their base in the city of Numaniyah. At first, reports claimed that only 350 people had become sick. Soon, though, the toll rose to 700.
Due to the political instability at the time, investigations into the source of the poisoning were inconclusive. It is not known who perpetrated the attack or what agent was used on the supply at the police base.
