Black death, the Bubonic Plague.

I doubt it. Black Plague is very treatable with modern medicine.

I know that has not been a problem for some time.

This is interesting though, I've seen it before. Thought it may be relevant.

In Islam, the huayra yana is the black wind. In a symbolic sense, a black wind spreads similar to the act of throwing ashes into the air. The dust particles appear momentarily suspended then carried along by an invisible stream before dissipating and falling to the ground. In Islamic eschatology, hell is pictured as a desert, scorching wind, black smoke, and boiling, bubbling water. Hell is reserved for the enemies of Allah led by the Christian counterpart of the devil known as Eblis, who roams the Earth seeking those whom he may devour. Hell awaits the unbelievers where they will be cast into "scorching wind and shadow of black smoke," and will drink of boiling water for eternity. Hell is the most terrible of places where the wicked are cast in scorching fires to eat thorns and thistles.

I agree. I'm thinking that if they are going to try to spread something really nasty, it would be the Black Pox.
