Al Qaeda terrorists have been left fearing the Black Death plague after it wiped out at least 40 insurgents at an Algerian training camp, it was reported today. The horror disease, which killed 25 million people in medieval Europe, is understood to have been found in a militants body dumped at a roadside. Terror group AQLIM (al Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb) was forced to turn its shelter in the Yakouren forests into mass graves and flee, it has been claimed.
Now al Qaeda chiefs are said to fear the plague has been passed into other cells - and possibly Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Many insurgents may choose to surrender for treatment rather than die a horrible death. This is the deadliest weapon yet in the war against terror, a security source told The Sun: Most of the terrorists do not have the basic medical supplies needed to treat the disease. It spreads quickly and kills within hours. This will be really worrying al-Qaeda.

“...But I’m feeling better...”

“See you next Tuesday!”
God’s will
interesting! did an expert that listened to the last bin laden tape say he sounded sick? :D
Being retired from the medical field9 post mil) I’m sure this “plague has something to do withing the family of “cranialrectitis.” If we do not supply more left hands, toilet paper and have,(laves las manos)them quit eating the cr*p their books and Imam’s feed them there WILL be a cure. Ah, but they’re a stubborn lot.

It’s Captain Tripps.
DC is Las Vegas. Sarah is Mother Abigail.
I’m not dead yet. Don’t put me on the cart.
Maybe someone “gave” it to them.
The military has forced these guys into very primitive conditions, and it doesn't surprise me this is starting to show up. What is concerning is that there is the possibility of it spreading well beyond the Middle East very quickly.
A lot of kidding gone on. But if these people have access to to various strains of these stuff it is not good obviously.
You’re of course absolutely correct. When I moved to Colorado about 10 years ago, and first read the Public Health warning about the Plague being found in Prairie Dogs only blocks from our home I thought it was, at first, a joke, and then thought it may just be some “scare tactics” or something (lots of fighting going on at the time about these prairie dogs habitats and such...). Anyway, when I realized they weren’t joking, or being sensationalists it was quite a shock. I had had no CLUE that this disease is still a factor for humanity - all it takes is one idiot getting bitten by a rat, or prairie dog, etc... for it to become a BIG problem.
Looks like Al Qaeda has found this out the hard way (not that I’m shedding tears for THEM). However, this could be a VERY big problem because if these folks were exposed and then “ran away” they only brought the disease to another population and have exposed them...
I don’t want to give them ideas, but combining this with a suicide attack could be a VERY bad thing — like a human biological weapon, really...
bttt
Well the forces of good win in the end.
God bless the rat fleas. eom
This is truly scary.
I don’t think you can catch the plague from a bite from the infected rodent. It is typically spread by being bitten by a flea that has sucked the infected blood from a host organism.
I’m not sure what happened with the islamofascists, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were trying to contaminate carriers (fleas) to be deployed in a major city.
