The Indian Military Is Making Tear Gas Hand Grenades Out Of The World's Hottest Chili



Here in the U.S., we spend BILLIONS of dollars every year developing high-tech weapons to protect ourselves from terrorists. But in India, they seem to be heading in the opposite direction.

--Yesterday, officials in India announced they've got a new weapon for fighting terrorists: The world's HOTTEST CHILI.

--It's known as the "ghost chili." (--Its real name is the "bhut jolokia", pronounced BOOT Joh-LOH-key-ah.) And it's 200 times hotter than a typical jalapeno pepper.

--The plan is to use it in tear gas hand grenades that would immobilize enemies when they explode.

--According to an Indian defense spokesman, quote, "This is definitely going to be an effective nontoxic weapon, because its pungent smell can choke terrorists and force them out of their hideouts."

--And the "ghost chili" is also being used to create aerosol sprays . . . kind of like pepper spray, only a lot more intense.
