"So it seems Al Qaeda has been faced with an outbreak of bubonic plague in their training camps.
The obvious question: Why are so many Al Qaeda all of a sudden exposed to the bubonic plague?
Answer: Because, very likely, they were screwing around trying to weaponize it. And to some extent, seem to have succeeded - though their targeting was a little off.
Dust off those bio attack response procedures."

You have to admit, it's a definite possibility.
You think they were breading rats, or something more sinister?

That's what I thought when I read the story. Even if they weren't trying to get samples of bubonic plague to possibly use as weapons, they have them now. If some guys from this group are looking a little sickly, they could put them in a western hotel and treat them to meals at all the fancy restaurants. But I don't know how long it would take them to go from contagious to dead....
Don't you need a vector, fleas? Rats with fleas, doesn't the plague live in the intestines of the fleas, and eats all the blood the fleas consume, starving the flea, but making it jump from victim to victim? I don't think an infected person is infectious, unless he's got fleas. In the modern world, if people get fleas, they take a shower.
