” No, this wasn’t a bioweapon. These terrorists are living in very remote areas infested with rodents, the carriers of plague. “
And the source of your inside information is...??
With the amount of information given in yesterday’s Sun article, and/or today’s Guardian rehash (granted - not real good sources, either of ‘em) your pontifications-from-on-high are just as much idle speculation as anyone else’s...
There just isn’t enough information available to draw any conclusions......
My inside information is this: plague exists in nature, people get infected with it all the time, and anyone who goes into wild areas with lots of rodents is taking a risk. Doesn’t matter whether that’s in eastern Oregon, Nevada’s high desert, or the mountains of Algeria. It is far more likely to have been a situational infection, which I’ve said happens frequently, rather than a bioweapon.
Not as dramatic, but oh well.
If you suspect it’s a bioweapon, who might you think daringly placed it in the middle of nowhere?
