ANTI-TERROR bosses last night hailed their latest ally in the war on terror — the BLACK DEATH.

The killer bug, also known as the plague, swept through insurgents training at a forest camp in Algeria, North Africa. It came to light when security forces found a body by a roadside.

The victim was a terrorist in AQLIM (al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb), the largest and most powerful al-Qaeda group outside the Middle East.

More terrorists will meet their deserved fate. I just hope the plague doesn’t kill a lot of innocent people in the meantime.

Hey, maybe we’re using bio-weapons. Wouldn’t that be something?

If they now have the means to spread this, it is very scary stuff.

That’s what I was thinking. Let’s hope we’re wrong.
