AL-QAEDA is recruiting suicide bombers who are infected with the AIDS virus, according to documents revealed to the Sunday Mirror.
Terror chiefs are also targeting fanatics who suffer other lethal blood diseases such as hepatitis and dengue fever in order to increase their "kill rate" from an explosion. The chilling new threat is revealed in papers distributed to British military camps in Iraq and across Europe.
Under the heading "HIV/Hepatitis" the document states: "There is evidence that terrorists might be deliberately recruiting volunteers with diseases that are spread by blood transference."
Experts have found that bones and other blood-spattered fragments from a suicide bomber could penetrate the skin of a victim 50 metres away and infect them.
In the papers (part of which is summarised above) soldiers are warned to wear special protective clothing when on guard duty or if they have to deal with casualties in the event of an attack.
All bases must also have snipers hidden behind blast-proof defences ready to take out would-be suicide bombers. The guidelines were issued following the 7/7 London bombings which left 52 dead and injured hundreds more.
Spy chiefs have also examined other attacks, including a car-bombing on the Black Watch in central Iraq which killed three soldiers a year ago.
Last night an MoD spokesman confirmed that bases had been made aware of the new threat.
He added: "The Army go to great lengths to prepare our soldiers for every eventuality."
Pork Blood Bombs would be nice thing to develop.
There were a couple documented cases in 2001-2002 of hepititis B tainted bone fragments from Palestinian suicide bombers getting imbedded in Israeli survivors and they have been vaccinating the survivors ever since.
Quite the come down from 9/11.
Now, our men have to watch out for terrorist chicks with STD's.
Guy STD terrorists for the "boys".
"bathhouse business"
I think they are just trying to find more reasons to continue to infect kids before they blow them up.
In 20 years most if not all of these Islamic scum will be history.
Al Qaeda is not gaining, we are winning this war on terror and will eventually achieve the ultimate victory. Stop your stupid pessimism.
Scientists and medical authorities agree that HIV does not survive well outside the body, making the possibility of environmental transmission remote. HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. To obtain data on the survival of HIV, laboratory studies have required the use of artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus. Although these unnatural concentrations of HIV can be kept alive for days or even weeks under precisely controlled and limited laboratory conditions, CDC studies have shown that drying of even these high concentrations of HIV reduces the amount of infectious virus by 90 to 99 percent within several hours. Since the HIV concentrations used in laboratory studies are much higher than those actually found in blood or other specimens, drying of HIV-infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed - essentially zero. Incorrect interpretations of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have in some instances caused unnecessary alarm.
Results from laboratory studies should not be used to assess specific personal risk of infection because (1) the amount of virus studied is not found in human specimens or elsewhere in nature, and (2) no one has been identified as infected with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface. Additionally, HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host (CDC: National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention Divisions of HIV/AIDS Prevention

I don't understand why the left is so determined to protect the enemy from discovery of their plans for mor WTCs and such. Another successful attack will pretty much eliminate the lefties from influence on foreign policy and the war. And besides they should be looking forward to getting their hands on things like the Homeland Security Dept, with all its surveillance powers intact. They will have a lot of use for that, though for the Democrats, it is a domestic utility with not much relevance to things foreign.
"I think a bomb splashing people with HIV blood would be almost entirely ineffective."
It isn't the blood splash, it's the bone slivers that get embedded. That said, I don't know what the threat level is in reality. If you are close enough to get bone slivers, you are probably dead anyway.
And I also say: Nothing in San Fransisco can be any good "to help America"
It can be cured by repeated sessions of radiotherapy..
Islam is a "peaceful" religion that forbids suicide, sex outside of marriage, drug abuse and homosexuality.
Oops. Sorry. Wrong planet.
Al Queda Geniuses- If the the blast doesn't kill em, the aids will.
I endorse the AL Qaeda strategy of infecting jihadis with AIDS.

That my boy. He make me so proud.
I did not notice that but it looks like you are right. I wonder if he still gets the 72 virgins for being a suicide bed-wetter.
