#1 Will need to see a death pic.

Radical Islam's JIHAD isn't doing very well these days - to salvage and fight another day, [2008-2012 or after] includes SAVING IMPORTANT LEADERS TO FIGHT AND LEAD ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER JIHAD, WHEN IRAN + ISLAMIST TERROR GET THE BOMB.

#2 MI-6 Weaponizes Hepatitis? (Abu Ubaida al-Masri Dead)

Glenmore unless you have more than this article to go on.. just sayin... the headline is WILD speculation. >:)

If you had direct access to Abu Ubaida al-Masri, Why bother infecting him with Hepatitis with its sometime long incubation period and many progressive disease phases after that until Liver death?
Sometimes 40 years..ug..? when...?

BTW: Hepatitis A, B and C are so f'cking prevalent in Pakland that anyone traveling there should get at least Hepatitis A and B vaccinations plus any other shots available. Some Dragon Skin Body Armor and/or a Ned Kelly won't hurt youse either.

Hepatitis A (HAV)
Hepatitis B (HBV)
Hepatitis C (HCV) (updated 11/14/2005 from Annual AASLD Meeting)
Hepatitis D (HDV)
Hepatitis E (HEV)
Hepatitis G (HGV)
Hepatitis F [non-ABCDE], G or GB-A and GB-B are probably Tamarin viruses, while GB-C infects humans...
ETC. most likely more will be coming... :)

Incidentally, not all "hepatitis" are caused by viruses. "Hepatitis" means "inflammation of the liver", and can be caused also by other types of infection (bacteria, fungal, TB, etc.); toxic drugs; poisons; alcoholism; vascular disorders; and immune system diseases.

From Our RB Treasure Box:
Dr. White has much better Intel and insight on this one as well as the best Intel on anything medical etc.

#5 RD, the headline is way beyond wild speculation - more on the level of Kos Kid accusations - and I really did not intend it as an actual cause, just as a commentary on how some will see it.

#7 RD, they were *squash* tournaments, technically, and then the deal for the duckpin bowling league fell through, so they had to skedaddle.

Pakland's loss, RB's gain.

#9 But who will mourn the goat?

That is the pertinent question here. I mean, why blame MI-6 when they guy probably got it from his goat.

#10 That headline is really not very helpful. I know (hope?) you are saying it in jest but there are going to be those who are going to latch onto things like that as "proof" of something.

The UK has signed and as far as I know abides by the Biological Weapons Convention.

Use of such weapons has been outlawed by the general opinion of civilized mankind.

Such headlines as the one on this article is a serious matter. Please don't even joke about it.
