DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Reuters) - A letter purporting to come from Osama bin Laden's militant Islamist al Qaeda network said a big attack on the United States was in the final stages of preparations, a London-based Arabic newspaper said Thursday.
"We bring the good news to Muslims of the world that the expected 'Winds of Black Death' strike against America is now in its final stage ... 90 percent (ready) and God willing near," the letter said.

The letter, signed by the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, which said it is part of al Qaeda, was sent to the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper. A copy of the letter was faxed to Reuters in Dubai.

Not to overlook them... But I imagine if they were down to their last 2 operatives their language would not change. If anything they will talk louder the weaker they become.

They can still do a lot of damage here if they decide to go with smaller operations. I'm sure there are thousands of useful idiots in our country who could be persuaded to plant bombs in soft targets.

If they are really responsible for the bombings in Spain, I wonder if they had aid and assistance from the Basques.

Operation Black Winds of Death

You have to admit, it's got more oomph than "Operation Enduring Freedom".

Black death vaccine developed to counter possible bioterrorism
19 Feb 2004


A team of scientists in the UK have made a major breakthrough in finding a vaccine against Black Death.

Black Death (Bubonic Plague) could be a possible weapon of bioterrorists.

The UK Ministry of Defence’s laboratories at Porton Down, UK said that the vaccine might be available within a year. Bubonic plague is one of the most dangerous bio-terrorism agents.

Large scale group trials will take place after a smaller test on human beings showed that there were no adverse effect (side effects). The tests were carried out in Wiltshire, UK.

We should expect the results of the large-scale trial within a year. Soon afterwards there should be a licence for the vaccine.

bubonic plague
Treatable with most modern antibiotics - tetracycline, etc. Still "Winds of Black Death" is a nasty name. My only consoling thought - hit us harder or as hard as 9/11 and say goodbye to mecca and medina. Then go after anyone who won't renounce radical islam. Seriously. ;-(
