ISIS fighters 'have contracted Ebola': World Health Organisation investigating reports militants....
Daily Mail ^ | 2 January 2015 | Daily Mail Staff

The World Health Organisation is investigating reports that ISIS militants have been showing up at an Iraqi hospital with Ebola.

According to three media outlets an undisclosed number of militants displaying signs of the disease attended a hospital in the ISIS-held city of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad.

While the reports, from Kurdish and pro-Iraqi sources, remain unconfirmed, WHO spokesman Christy Feig said the group are trying to reach out to officials in ISIS-held areas to offer help.

UN workers are currently banned from entering ISIS-controlled areas in both Iraq and Syria so it is unlikely an operation in the region could be carried out.

Ms Feig told Mashable: 'We have no official notification from [the Iraqi government] that it is Ebola.'

The symptoms of ebola are similar to those of other diseases including malaria and yellow fever

Mosul has been under control of ISIS since June 2014 and over the past few weeks militants have reportedly executed more than a dozen doctors for refusing to treat injured fighters.

According to a report in Iraq's pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, the disease was brought to Mosul by 'terrorists' arriving 'from several countries' and Africa.

A corpse is a corpse, of course, course,
And no one can talk to a corpse of course
That is of course unless the corpse
Is a dangerous ISIS man!

We have had the Obola virus for the past 6 years; ISIS is better off.

Sorry, very skeptical. Will be quite surprised if this turns out to be accurate.

Although it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

If it’s accurate that members of ISIS have contracted Ebola, they must have already spread the disease to the general population.

Surrounding countries should quarantine Syria and Iraq.

Let us see if their Islamic state and Allah can handle this scourge. After all they are supposed to be so advanced and superior in all ways.

What the hell are we waiting for? Let’s import these unfortunates so we can give them the best care possible, get them cured and back on the battlefield as soon as possible.

“Even if it turned out to be a false rumor, it would be a clever rumor to spread. It would discourage recruiting and cooperation with ISIS.”

As I asked on this story yesterday:

Scary propaganda?
Or Scary Reality?

Instead of blowing themselves up they’ll go into populated areas and infect people.

Actually, blowing yourself up while in a crowded place would be a highly effective way to infect people.

If Obola doesn’t fly them to the U.S., ISIS will and then use them as human Ebola bombs.

I hear hot lead can rapidly stop the onset of Ebola and alleviate the terrible symptoms immediately.

Ebola could be our most reliable ally in the war against muslim jihadists.
