It what seems strangely appropriate, the Black Death has struck AQLIM (al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb) which is the largest and most powerful al-Qaeda group outside the Middle East. So a bunch of fanatics with a mentality out of the middle ages is hit by a disease right out of the middle ages.
Poetic Justice? Or, evil CIA plot? Black Death vaccine developedUK researchers have made a crucial breakthrough in the development of a vaccine against the "Black Death". The bubonic plague, which killed millions in Europe in the Middle Ages, is now one of the most deadly agents available to terrorists. Researchers at the Ministry of Defence's Porton Down laboratory say a vaccine could be licensed "within one to two years". That was 5 years ago. Maybe someone in Africa was playing with fire and got burnt?
i would say it's a likely scenario. i doubt it is CIA because you would need to know who and where the cells were. if the CIA knew that then they would simply arrest them, or shoot them.
I'm no conspiracy theory nut... but I wouldn't be surprised if it was introduced into the camp on purpose. And why not? Western governments have it in their arsenal, why not use it? Innocent people can get an antidote, while the douchebags just die. If it was NOT biological warfare that infected these turds, then it was the hand of Allah. Khamdulilah.
How often is it that the hand of God is indistinguishable from biological warfare? Is it possible that these idiots were experimenting with bio-warfare agents and infected themselves?
Rats living in caves, men sheltering in caves and a highly infectious pathogen. Its really that simple.
I agree this, if true, this is probably the reason. Although, I did read on Janes Military Analysis years ago (the onset of the Afghan war) that there was an outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in one of the camps near Iran. Maybe it also was a coincident + conditions in said camps but, I always wondered why it was never reported in the mainstream news?
Terrorist might have to ask themselves, if God supports them and is all powerful and is on their side, why does he put such obstacles in their path? And the logical answer would be, a supportive all powerful God does not support the terrorist. I never understood the fanatic anyway. If God is all powerful, why would he need humans to do anything?
Is this even true? I haven't seen this anywhere else, and if I remember correctly, the Sun is like the UK's version of The National Enquirer.
Yeah, but they could have been experimenting with it themselves and it got out of control. In any case, now they can easily take a sample and use it as a weapon, perhaps their intent was to create a living weapon, a sickened operative to take flights all over the world.
That's a possibility. But it seems more likely that it's just due to the fact that these dolts are living in VERY unsanitary conditions. (And they may well be using the rats for food.)
More than likely it's not true. But, with Obama mania I suppose it may have slipped under the radar. By the by, what exactly is "Black Death"?
