OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- State Attorney General Drew Edmondson asked a federal judge Monday to toss out poultry company claims against more than one hundred Oklahomans.

The state filed a federal lawsuit against several poultry companies in June 2005, alleging that the companies released hazardous pollutants into the Illinois River and Lake Tenkiller.

The poultry companies later field claims naming 160 Oklahoma citizens, businesses and cities as third-party defendants in the suit.

Edmondson asked the judge to strike or sever and stay the claims against the Oklahomans named.
