HIV BOMBERS--Al-Qaeda's plot to infect troops with AIDS virus
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 08:32 AM by dogday
AL-QAEDA is recruiting suicide bombers who are infected with the AIDS virus, according to documents revealed to the Sunday Mirror.

Terror chiefs are also targeting fanatics who suffer other lethal blood diseases such as hepatitis and dengue fever in order to increase their "kill rate" from an explosion. The chilling new threat is revealed in papers distributed to British military camps in Iraq and across Europe.

Under the heading "HIV/Hepatitis" the document states: "There is evidence that terrorists might be deliberately recruiting volunteers with diseases that are spread by blood transference."

Experts have found that bones and other blood-spattered fragments from a suicide bomber could penetrate the skin of a victim 50 metres away and infect them.

2. exactly: unbelievable.
meaning, I don't believe it.
logically, if they know ENOUGH to know their recruiting standards, they know enough to nab them.
They haven't, so they don't, so this is propaganda.

7. This will become "The Battle of the Blood" literally.
U.S. military probably preparing to have weapons that spray pig blood on the combatants to make sure they don't get their 72 virgins in Paradise.

8. But not a word about packing the bombers
With additional penetrative materials? Come on now, if they're going to scare us, they could at least come up with a diagram of a bomb packed with nails and needles to strap to a disease bomber.

9. Impossible. HIV dies instantly as soon as it hits the air.
This is fearmongering. HIV is a very fragile virus. It can only survive by direct injection from one person, probe or syrenge into another person. If you can see blood, it's dead.

11. There is also evidence that government propaganda might be deliberately
including bullshit in their stories that are spread by paid operatives.

12. Sounds pretty unlikely.
The last person religious fundamentalists would want to recruit is someone with an STD.
