He ordered the few surviving troops to lad up the rotting bodies of the soldiers who died of some horrible pestilence, they rigged these dead bodies onto the catapults, and shot them over the walls of fortified Caffa and into the Christian citadel. Rotting bodies of the dead Muslims fell into the streets of Caffa, and lay all over the town. Does this mean that Muslims invented biological warfare? Or were there earlier instances.

"Does this mean that Muslims invented biological warfare?"The Venetians aided Janibeg in seiging the Genoese, so it could have been one, the other or both.

So you noticed too that from 1345 AD to 1351 AD was the first WOT with the Muzzies.
