Aussies fear self-infected terrorists
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1128110/posts

"Canberra, , May. 1 (UPI) -- Australia is planning for the possibility of terrorists infecting themselves with deadly germs and then spreading the disease through the population.

This new concept of suicide bioterrorism will be discussed during a closed-door Monday workshop in Canberra by the director of terrorism studies at the Australian National University, Clive Williams, the Australian reported Saturday.

Williams said bio-terrorists could infect themselves with a contagious disease, such as smallpox or ebola. Between the time the person became contagious and the time he or she became too ill to move about, the terrorist could go into crowded public areas and try to spread the disease by close contact."

On Australia: I wonder if they just figured this out or if they learned of something?

On the Delta "glitch" I haven't heard anything this morning. Actually just got up ;-) Will check.
