A Winnipeg woman has been sentenced to six years in jail after entering the United States to purchase a chemical weapon. Her attempted transaction was discovered by an undercover FBI agent, whom she contacted and expressed interest in buying a toxin. They were communicating on the dark web, a hidden portion of the internet often used for malicious activities and only accessible with special software, court documents say. Court documents say that before Liu was questioned by authorities, she said "I know what I did was wrong." It isn't explained in the unsealed court documents what Liu intended to use the toxin for, or what it was.
