Dumplings poisoned 'on purpose.'
Chinese dumplings which were laced with pesticide and made at least 10 Japanese people ill were probably poisoned on purpose, Japan's health minister says.
The frozen dumplings were contaminated with a highly toxic organophoshate pesticide methamidophos.
"Judging from the circumstantial evidence, we'd have to think that it's highly likely to be a crime," Yoichi Masuzoe told reporters.
The issue has triggered intensive media coverage and public alarm in Japan. Japanese police say they want to work with their Chinese counterparts to investigate how the dumplings, known as gyoza in Japan, were poisoned.

Japanese officials now believe that the toxins found in the Chinese made dumplings were put there intentionally because of circumstantial evidence. China, however, still denies that the dumplings are unsafe at all, but they recalled the product anyway. Could this be the beginning of terrorist activities in China? Causing the illness of ten Japanese people could be a very serious biological terrorist attack.
