Abategetsi bavuze ko iyo baruwa yatahuwe mu ntangiriro y’iki cyumweru ubwo yari igeze ahagenzurirwa amabaruwa ajyanwe muri White House. Bavuze ko ubwo burozi bwasanzwe imbere mu ibahasha (enveloppe) bwatahuwe ko ari ‘ricin’, uburozi karemano busangwa mu ntete z’ikimera cya ‘castor’ cyo mu bwoko bw’ikibonobono.
