#1 Time to take a look at Directive 7-12?

#2 More likely they imported slaves from Africa who were carrying it.

We know ISIS has a voracious appetite for sex slaves, so I think this was a more likely vector than attempts at bio warfare.

#3 To the above; why is it more likely?

#4 Most likely they just have a nasty case of goat-crotch.

#5 Weaponizing Ebola is not that hard, all you need to do is find a jihadi testing positive for the antibodies and buy him a plane ticket to Washington DC.

Or Los Angeles or Chicago or San Francisco.

#6 Bill Clinton. Counterattacking is still simpler: take a few people testing positive and drop it at Mecca during the Hadj. Then both them and us will ahve it but the difference is that we have the technology for developping a treatment and all they have is camels for producing camel piss.

#7 OG, it's more likely due to the location of the infected people. If they're trying to weaponize it, they'd be finding those people here, not over there. There's no reason to bring infected people to your own territory unless you mean to play with it in a lab, which isn't really needed with Ebola. You have a limited time window to get infected people to the target area, taking a sidetrip to crapolastan doesn't help.
