Breitbart ^ | August 29, 2014 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 08/29/2014 11:45:51 AM PDT by maggief

An Islamic State (IS) laptop captured by a "moderate Syrian rebel group" reportedly contains bubonic plague recipes and information on weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).

Foreign Policy reports that Abu Ali, commander of the rebel group, found the laptop in January after his men closed on a building from which Islamic State militants fled.

The laptop "contains a total of 35,347 files in 2,367 folders." These include "documents in French, English, and Arabic" and "videos of Osama bin Laden." There are instructions for jihad and stealing vehicles and for making bombs and disguises.

Gee, I wonder who stormed into that hospital where Ebola victims were being cared for and stole samples of it?

Plague?
I was hospitalized with plague for 24 days when I was in Vietnam in 1970. Trust me, you don’t want it.

I imagine a nuke would destroy any and all germs within a certain range. But is there a chance it would “blow” other germs all over the earth?

Vietnam and the plague, that probably wasn’t your most light hearted year.

ISIS needn't bother. I thought I had read that plague has been identified in some of the "unaccompanied minors" that Obama invited to come over here.

We need to take out Mecca. We will one day - if there is any Westerner alive with the balls to do so.

Glad you’re still with us.
Hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was that experience like? How were you treated?

No wonder doxycycline 100mg went from $.40 per tablet/capsule to $6-8.00 per unit.

You're reading my mind plus stir their ashes in bacon grease. That should give them some pause.

Just a caveat.

Making bioweapons, especially in quantity, does not necessarily take a lot of equipment or money. It does require a lot of knowledge and precise attention to detail in processing.

These are not traits the jihadist mindset tends to promote, to put it mildly. Believing that it will work, regardless of what you do, if Allah wills it so, is not a recipe for efficiency.

OTOH, effectively weaponizing bioweapons DOES take equipment and money, in addition to expertise. The US and USSR did it during the Cold War. ISIS is very unlikely to be able to do the same. Might be easier to build a nuke.
