Bio-Weapon Gone Wrong Killed Algerian Terrorists?

Boy, I must admit, sometimes I'm a real idiot.

Forty members of Al Qaeda die of the plague, and I thought nothing of it. I figured, well, they hang out in caves, with rats, they don't have medical care, of course, they are likely to get sick and die. I didn't believe we gave them the plague,

so end of story.

Right?

I didn't even consider that they might have been experimenting with a bio-weapon they intended to use on us.

And now that I am considering that possibility here at 5:00 AM, I realize I'd rather go back to bed. But instead, I'll post this story:

Hmm. The Washington Times cites a national security source who disputes the Sun report of the plague killing some al Qaeda members in Algeria.
He said authorities in the first week of January intercepted an urgent communication between the leadership of al Qaeda in the Land of the Maghreb (AQIM) and al Qaeda's leadership in the tribal region of Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. The communication suggested that an area sealed to prevent leakage of a biological or chemical substance had been breached, according to the official.
Good luck trying to get to the bottom of that one. Did a covert op give them a bug? Did they just catch it? Or was it a weapon of their own gone wrong?
The official, who spoke on the condition he not be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, said he could not confirm press reports that the accident killed at least 40 al Qaeda operatives, but he said the mishap led the militant group to shut down a base in the mountains of Tizi Ouzou province in eastern Algeria.
Well, dead is dead, I guess.

Have a nice day.
