“Urine and blood samples from several of the German hostages examined by a German toxicology professor showed an
EXTREMELY high concentration of anesthetics.
Loss of consciousness from fentanyl occurs at the lowest effective dose—for 50 percent of a given population, around .011 milligram (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight.
The lethal dose of fentanyl for 50 percent of a given population occurs at 3.1 mg per kg of body weight.
Although there are no facts available showing how much fentanyl was used
in the raid, it is safe to assume that a high concentration was required to effectively render everyone unconscious.
Additionally, the FSB Al’fa had no prior training in administering calmative agents in this type of environment, implying that hostage safety was
NOT a high priority.
…effects of using this unconventional method (fentanyl) killed 50 times more of FSB Al’fa’s own people than did the hostage takers.”
