Terrorist group Isis may be considering using Ebola as a suicide bio-weapon against the West, according to a military expert.
The virus is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person who is showing the symptoms – and it wouldn't be difficult for fanatics to contract it then travel to countries they want to wreak havoc in, according to a military expert.
Capt. Al Shimkus, Ret., a Professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, said that the strategy is entirely plausible.
He told Forbes: 'The individual exposed to the Ebola Virus would be the carrier. In the context of terrorist activity, it doesn't take much sophistication to go to that next step to use a human being as a carrier.'
And Professor Anthony Glees, Director at Buckingham University's Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, agrees that the strategy might be considered.
He said: 'In some ways it’s a plausible theory – IS fighters believe in suicide and this is a potential job for a suicide mission. They are sufficiently murderous and well-informed to consider it, and they know that we’ve been remiss in the UK.'

Will Obama pay for their transportation or just passively assist by keeping our borders open to terrorists?
...and Hash Tags. Don’t forget the Hash Tags, the most powerful weapon of all.
Fill a concert venue or transport hub with tiny Ebola-laden blood droplets. One bomber can expose thousands.

Maybe we need to have a dialog with Ebola. A discussion where we can come to terms with it.
How tough would it be to infect suicide terrorists with ebola and send them on planes to the US when the TSA gumshoes aren’t even competent to take a temperature let alone single out likely infected terrorists. Besides any questioning of these foreign nationals would be deemed racist and Islamophobic. These terrorists could enter the country mostly unquestioned, be on planes to anywhere in the US and heading to malls, schools and public events to spread the disease before anyone in Washington could have a clue.
“I would imagine a carrier wearing a boom vest would splatter in many directions, covering a crowd with slime.”
Pretty sure you could consider it airborne at this point.
They could inject themselves upon arriving. (I wrote a short story to a friend last year.)
Remember a Terrorist used a “rectum bomb” in trying to kill a Saudi “Prince”?
Of course, we have all thought of that. This doesn’t take deep thinking.
