Iraqi media says ISIS militants have contracted Ebola
Mashable ^ | 12-31-2014 | Bryan Reis

Reports that Islamic State militants in Mosul have contracted Ebola swirled though Iraqi media sources on Wednesday. World Health Organization officials said they haven't confirmed the cases, but the organization has reached out to offer assistance.

Three outlets reported that Ebola showed up at a hospital in Mosul, a city 250 miles north of Baghdad that's been under ISIS control since June 2014. The reports, however, have perpetuated mostly in pro-government and Kurdish media.

SNIP---

Citing an unnamed source in a Mosul hospital, Iraq's official pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, said the disease arrived in Mosul from "terrorists" who came "from several countries" and Africa.

Scary anti-ISIS propaganda? Or scary ISIS reality??

The possibility of Human Ebola bombs is truly frightening.

I was getting ready to post this article when I saw yours:

Weaponized Ebola? ISIS Militants Said To Contract Deadly Virus

Forget targeted US airstrikes, ISIS faces a new existential threat. Citing an unnamed source in a Mosul hospital, Iraq's official pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, said Ebola arrived in Mosul from "terrorists" who came "from several countries" and Africa. Mashable further confirms, three outlets reported that Ebola showed up at a hospital in Mosul. For now, it's unclear if any disease experts or doctors in Mosul are even able to test for the Ebola virus; but it would mark the first time the virus had been detected in an area controlled by ISIS, a group that doesn't embrace science and modern medicine."

This will be high comedy to watch the holy Obama and his minions deeply conflicted about if it is wrong to stop jihadis Isis guys, with ebola, from entering the country.

WHO is trying to help ISIS? WTFF?!?’ Ebola ravaging ISIS isn’t a problem, it’s the solution to a problem.

Well invite one in and shoot them at close range. then get back to me. By phone. Or email. Because if you don’t see the problem of a suicidal fanatic with ebola, you’re pretty much gonna die anyway. Just don’t take any of us with you.

That is what I was thinking, incubation is what, 3 weeks. Might be a blessing in disguise.

The best scenario is that it spreads through their ranks and decimates them as a fighting force.
