A new or old weapon being used ?

Hi,

I am a first time poster so I am unsure if this is the correct forum but here goes.

I was reading a national daily newspaper when this story jumped out at me.

www.thesun.co.uk...

In this article it states that 40 trainee terrorists died at a training camp from the "plague". Being a bit of a conspiracy theorist is it outside the realms of possability that they were covertly targeted by someone involved in the war on terror or just coincidence?

Nah, bubonic plague is a fairly common disease. It's unlikely that it was used for terrorism. It's not stable enough.

Well dont expect much compassion on your post when your using the Sun as your news source.

Well its funny you say its a fairly common disease and would'nt be used as a weapon, I just googled your comment and found this, seems you dismissed this very quickly!

Or when you don't know the difference in English between the possessive contraction you are/you're and the word your...

I remind the previous poster that the best lies are almost all true. No one believes a lie that is almost all bull. Even the National Enquirer gets it right at times, and the major media is well known for their prevarications.

Sorry to burst your bubble friend, but The Sun is not a newspaper. It's a comic!

On the subject of Bubonic Plague, it is still fairly common in the Far East where there are some 20,000 or so cases each year of which, only a few hundred are fatal.

If this piece is to be believed, terrorists are rolling around on the ground turning black as I type this.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of fellas, now could it?
