ANTI-TERROR bosses last night hailed their latest ally in the war on terror — the BLACK DEATH.
At least 40 al-Qaeda fanatics died horribly after being struck down with the disease that devastated Europe in the Middle Ages.
The killer bug, also known as the plague, swept through insurgents training at a forest camp in Algeria, North Africa. It came to light when security forces found a body by a roadside.
The victim was a terrorist in AQLIM (al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb), the largest and most powerful al-Qaeda group outside the Middle East.
It trains Muslim fighters to kill British and US troops.
Now al-Qaeda chiefs fear the plague has been passed to other terror cells — or Taliban fighters in Afghanistan

I thought the same thing. All the security, secret service, police, National Guard in the world can't protect us or the government from something like this.
Yep, they are great, and I echo your sentiment, RIP to a great writer who brought light of day to a whole people.
I hope this isn’t a ‘work related’ injury/death.
It doesn't ever mutate into a stronger form?
Was this thread pulled for awhile?
I love good news stories.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of scumbags....
We have it here every year.
From the CDC...In the United States, the last urban plague epidemic occurred in Los Angeles in 1924-25. Since then, human plague in the United States has occurred as mostly scattered cases in rural areas (an average of 10 to 15 persons each year). Globally, the World Health Organization reports 1,000 to 3,000 cases of plague every year. In North America, plague is found in certain animals and their fleas from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, and from southwestern Canada to Mexico. Most human cases in the United States occur in two regions: 1) northern New Mexico, northern Arizona, and southern Colorado; and 2) California, southern Oregon, and far western Nevada. Plague also exists in Africa, Asia, and South America
After all, it just has to be the fault of the CSO (Communist States of obammica)
It was dem JOOOOS!!!
;^)
(Hey, don’t rule it out.)
Yes, i think it’s pneumonic plague. It spreads from person to person without any intermediary like fleas.

LOL! I’d forgotten about the ‘evil Zionists’!
A biologist in this state died of it last year. He caught it from handling dead animals.
In case you missed it.
I wonder what they were doing to catch the black death.
There is also hantavirus as well.That is a sunspot cycle.
(God’s wrath, maybe?)
That’s what I’m thinking!
Friends who served in Iraq heard rumors that shipments went to Syria as the ground war in 2003 was getting under way but they could not confirm those rumors. If said weapon shipments went to Syria, could not cash-strapped Syria sell them on the open black market to naughty folks? It’s certainly possible.
There is a whole realm of things going on to which only Special Ops, CIA and NSA are privy and the general public is oblivious. When I visited a friend at MARSOC, there was a whiteboard scrawled with “America is not at war. The US military is at war. America is at the mall.”
What if it’s a weoponized form that doesn’t respond to antibiotics? These guys are the kind that would find something like that to use.
