Yes. Al-Qaeda has spent years training mosquitoes for the very purpose of spreading a disease that kills mostly birds.

They hate birds. They must have danced in the streets when the flamingoes keeled over.

I hate to be the one to bring reality to you Mr. HellInAHandcrt but I was trained in NBC Defense for the United States Marine Corps and yes countries do in fact use mosquitoes as biological gents to spread disease. We even tested this out ears ago ourselves. Mosquitoes were dropped in multiple bomblets behind enemy lines these mosquitoes would bite and infect enemy soldiers with various illnesses. I don't mean to be crude here but it is hard for your enemy to fight when he is constantly havign to relieve his bowels.

It is perfectly logical to suspect that west nile virus, dengue fever and others were in fact brought here by al-qaeda, hezbollah or any of a a dozen other terrorist outfits.

The fact that you and others immediiately dismiss the idea only shows that you are lacking the facts. All you have to do is a quick search on "mosquito" and "biological weapons" if you want to investigate this for yourself, heres one quick excerpt that took me all of 10 seconds to locate
If Equidae were present, disease in these animals would occur simultaneously with human disease. Secondary spread by person-to-person\contact occurs at a negligible rate. However, a BW attack in a region populated by Equidae and appropriate mosquito vectors could initiate an epizootic/epidemic.
or how about this
"Introduction of yellow fever into a country with appropriate mosquito vectors might build up into a disabling epidemic before control measures were established."
And like I said my expertise comes from actual NBC training not rumor but you can at least search for the facts before spreading your disinformation that this is all a joke.

If only people would take the time to formulated an educated response rather than simply responding...
