Burning chilli sparks terror fear

Firefighters wearing protective breathing apparatus were called a London restaraunt after reports of noxious smoke filling the air.

Police closed off three roads, homes were evaquated and crews broke down the door to the Thai Cottage restaurant Monday where they discovered the source - a 9lb pot of chillies.

I think America's "War of Terror," as Borat calls it, has everyone sufficiently terrorized.

BBC reports the restaurant had been preparing Nam Prik Pao, a red-hot Thai dip which uses extra-hot chillies which are deliberately burnt.

But the smell prompted several members of the public to call the emergency services.
