Weaponized Ebola? ISIS Militants Said To Contract Deadly Virus
Forget targeted US airstrikes, ISIS faces a new existential threat. Citing an unnamed source in a Mosul hospital, Iraq's official pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, said Ebola arrived in Mosul from "terrorists" who came "from several countries" and Africa. Mashable further confirms, three outlets reported that Ebola showed up at a hospital in Mosul. For now, it's unclear if any disease experts or doctors in Mosul are even able to test for the Ebola virus; but it would mark the first time the virus had been detected in an area controlled by ISIS, a group that doesn't embrace science and modern medicine."
It takes a well equipped lab to test for Ebola before the symptoms show up. However once the symptoms are present anyone can diagnose Ebola just with a brief note on a piece of paper. It also becomes too late to treat.
