From Sophia with Deadly Love....


Identify this deadly device. It has been used twice and worked only once, but it is a very clever creation




This is the Bulgarian Umbrella. This was used twice, once effectively to kill Georgi Markov on the London Waterloo Bridge. The method involves an umbrella specially designed to shoot out a poisoned bullet(Ricin used here) to kill a person. It was discontinued since the assassin would have to get too close to the victim and ricin was also unstable at certain temperatures(either doesn't work or might affect the handler)
