If AQ didn't report it, how would we know that they had suffered an plague episode. Alternatively, if a 'plague victim' had been found, how does it translate into a terrorist epidemic and, firther down the line, the sure thing that is biological experiments.


Isn't the safer conclusion a case of bad journalism?

>>"No case of plague of any type has been recorded in
any region of Algeria since 2003," the health ministry said.

My eyes shifted to the word "recorded." If al-Qaeda had plague, would they report it? "Excuse me, we had a oopsy in our jihad R&D unit. Hello?"

Further, the Health Ministry may be taking some guidance from the tiny but aggressive Ministry of Tourism.
