The chilling new threat...

There were a couple documented cases in 2001-2002 of hepititis B tainted bone fragments from Palestinian suicide bombers getting imbedded in Israeli survivors and they have been vaccinating the survivors ever since.

Thanks for pointing this out. I did a quick Google search, and did indeed find articles confirming what you stated.

Here is a link for the sceptics: Suicide bombers' lasting legacy

BBC News, 25 July, 2002

Suicide bombers may not just cause carnage when they blow themselves up - they may also spread disease from beyond the grave.

Israeli doctors have analysed bits of bone embedded in a bomb survivor, and found that they tested positive for the liver infection hepatitis B.

He said it might also be wise to test for other diseases that could potentially be spread in the same way. These include four kinds of hepatitis, dengue fever, syphilis, CJD and possibly malaria. Doctors are most concerned about the potential for spreading HIV.
