The World Health Organization is investigating reports that ISIS militants have contracted the deadly Ebola virus and are seeking help at a hospital in Mosul in Iraq. The virus, which has claimed thousands of lives in West Africa, is believed to have been brought to the city by jihadists from several different countries.
WHO spokesman Christy Feig confirmed that the health agency is reaching out to ISIS officials in the region to gather more information, The Daily Mail noted on Friday. Feig said that the Iraqi government hasn't yet responded to the news of possible Ebola cases in the country.
An unconfirmed number of jihadists apparently sought treatment at the hospital in Mosul, which was captured by ISIS earlier this year. Local newspaper al Sabaah has claimed that the virus was brought to Mosul by terrorists arriving from several countries in Africa.
As of the end of 2014, the total death count from the largest Ebola outbreak in history stands at 7,890 people, while over 20,000 have been diagnosed with the disease, for which there is no cure.
The West African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have been the hardest hit. While the former two have seen the transmission rate go down significantly in the past couple of months, Sierra Leone remains in a fierce battle to contain the virus.
ISIS captured several cities across Iraq and Syria in 2014, and has been seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region.
Confirmation of Ebola cases will likely be difficult, however, as U.N. workers are prohibited from entering militant-controlled areas.
The militants have become known for executing prisoners, including women and children, and giving Christians and other religious minorities an option to convert to Islam, pay a tax or be killed. Over a dozen doctors have reportedly been executed by ISIS in recent weeks for refusing to treat their injured fighters.
The Daily Mail pointed out that there is no information on whether doctors still working in Mosul are trained or equipped to fight a possible Ebola outbreak.
Since Ebola shares symptoms with other diseases including malaria and yellow fever, it is also possible that the cases so far have been misdiagnosed.
It is also not know how many fighters from West African countries could have joined ISIS, though tens of thousands of foreigners and several other jihadist groups have reportedly rallied under the Islamic State banner.
Nigerian terror group Boko Haram also pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2014 — Nigeria experienced its own scare with Ebola after a number of cases of the virus were reported, but the country was declared Ebola-free by October.
I almost wonder if it was someone who decided their number was up and that they wouldn’t die in vain.
Got your "cure" right here, bitches.
Again, I am so sick of elites who have made the decision for all the rest of us to open up our borders. Traitors!
Hope springs eternal.
A concern of mine for months has been an ebola/ISIS connection and that they will send the terminal cases into heavily populated areas as a final act of jihad.
Jerusalem and Paris should be paying attention...
Do goats spread ebols?
Last year, at a medical center treating ebola patients, a group busted in and stole soiled bed linens. Could it be that they were trying to fashion a crude bio-weapon and it back-fired on them before they could weaponize it?
Apparently the doctors are refusing to treat them and are paying for this with their lives.
And wipe themselves out in the process. Hopefully it will spread all the way to Mecca.
That is a very nasty disease and I’m thinking the lost boys aren’t up to the level OCD needed to survive something like that in their midst.
Yup, Karma is a b!tch...
The problem is that it could be both a solution and a problem if one of them have an IQ over the half-way mark.
With the word leaders we hav...with Barry releasing NUCLEAR terrorists back into the wild, Bhenghazi, Egypt...
Do you REALLY want to gamble with life on earth that badly?Really? Do you think that even a handful of these jihadis with ebola isn’t a potential extinction level event? Whould you trust ANY Govt, military, WHO/UN to be able to contain them until they all died? Even ours? With Barry in charge and the ACLU demanding they be given day passes to childrens petting zoos and Superbowl tickets?
Think it through.
God works in mysterious ways?
The will of Allah.
Thanks for the ping!
