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.

As a matter of fact, I was kind of hoping we DID do it to them.
Maybe I misread, but didn’t they theorize it was brought up from Africa while escaping from there?
One possible treatment is to send them to Gaza for a group hug.
I suppose the Chinese or Japanese have joined in the fight. I told ya that the Chinese would go after them after attacking them during the time they were setting up for the Olympics.
On a more serious note, I think God is showing his displeasure at these bastards. Remember, we all know that He is a patient Father, but once he loses patience...
f I were using bioweapons I'd look into hanta virus, not black plague.
The AlQaida guys are simply encountering it out in the desolate drylands where rats are the dominant animals. So we can expect Black Plague on Capitol Hill any day now ??? (evil grin)
The blessings of the Caliphate are upon them...
“And theyre all pork-eating savages who love dogs.”
And Damn proud of it!
There would be a precipitous downside to such a tactic -- the bad guys don't want to credit the CIA with success. Blaming it on them could serve to promote the myth that the CIA might actually be effective at covert ops.

Wow, all of those are related to the same natural immunity? I had not heard that. There must be a Nobel Prize awaiting the researcher who explains that.....
I’m glad to say that I have absolutely no idea whether I’m naturally resistant to HIV/AIDS since I have never engaged in activity that would put me at risk..... except that during chemotherapy and surgeries for cancer I have had around 12 units of blood transfusions into me at different times, so I suppose there is a remote possibility that my immune system was tested that way....... so far no problem.
My 5 lb yorkshire terriers name is “Karma”. I assume you were talking about her?
Yes, it is easily treatable, IF you are not living in caves, with rats, on the lam, away from civilization. But you have to come out of the /closet/ to get treatment.
It’s the little things that count.
“So now we know for sure that theyre playing with some pretty potent bio stuff???”
So was this a test on lower level Qaediots by one of their Doctors of Death?
Do you really think there isn't going to be something ELSE happen in the next 30 hours that will be blamed on Bush?
They offer tremendous opportunities for advancement.
Rolling on ceiling laughing my brass off.
I knew it, I bloody *knew* it!
Dey gotz cooties!
It is likely enough that someone brought it from Afghanistan or the tribal areas of Pakistan.
It is endemic to central Asia.
