This Is an Interesting Story

Islamic suicide bio-terrorists?

The idea of suicide bombers infected with contagious blood-borne diseases such as HIV or hepatitis is quite disturbing; and the use of such diseases could make suicide bombing much more effective at hurting or killing large numbers of people.

Mike McConnell of KoKoNut Pundits also asks an important question here:

I wonder where they got those diseases in the first place?

For HIV, the pool is somewhat restricted. Well, if they are taking suicide bombers from Africa, maybe from contaminated needles? Perhaps they are gay men or drug users who are being told that this is their only hope to get into Heaven? If they are recruiting female suicide bombers, they could be taking prostitutes.

Of course, when talking about hepatitis (I'm assuming they are thinking sexually-transmitted hepatitis) they could take anyone who is being promiscuous, as hepatitis is easier to spread through heterosexual sex than HIV.

More on this as it develops.

That is all.
