| Experts said that the group was developing chemical and biological weapons. As I recall, there were videos and lab notebooks of biological and chemical weapons experimentation found in Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan back in 2002. They were particularly fond of killing dogs, for some reason. Dr Igor Khrupinov, a biological weapons expert at Georgia University, told The Sun: "Al-Qaeda is known to experiment with biological weapons. And this group has direct communication with other cells around the world. They all are in direct communication with one another, although much of the communication from the Pakistan headquarters is on the order of, "Send us some of your money." "Contagious diseases, like ebola and anthrax, occur in northern Africa. It makes sense that people are trying to use them against Western governments." But here's the really interesting bit: It was reported last year that up to 100 potential terrorists had attempted to become postgraduate students in Britain in an attempt to use laboratories. |

| #7 Algerians, muslims as per coincidence, all live buried in their own filth, filth colonized, of course by gazillion rats and of course, their fleas. This could have wiped out the entire north african population... Ah! well, maybe next time... Meanwhile, they'll burn all cars in France's suburbs that dont have a Coran or some islamist sign clearly displayed. A plague would NOT be a disaster but a sign of God's display of his love of humanity.  |

| #6 Infected fleas would work very well as a vector. Cultivate the Bacillus and the fleas on infected dogs or cats,then just ride around on crowded trains in summertime, when people have bare legs, dropping little packets of fleas on the floor. Very low tech operation. |

| #5 Bubonic plague is transmitted by rat-carried fleas. but pneumonic is transmitted by cough-droplets in the air, gromky... and pneumonic is the quicker dead version. |

| #4 Gromky, there's other possible vectors for transmitting plague. |

| #3 At least they're concentrating their efforts on worthless diseases like plague. We really don't live among rats and fleas any more, even in most parts of China. |

| #1 It was reported last year that up to 100 potential terrorists had attempted to become postgraduate students in Britain in an attempt to use laboratories But a fatwa was issued that stated that retorts and water-cooled condensers were unislamic, and they were sh*t outa luck. |
