Military experts are warning ISIS may be considering using Ebola as a suicide bio-weapon against the West.This is coming on the heels of the several arrests and raids of homes of suspected terrorists in the UK.
Capt. Al Shimkus, Ret., a Professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College 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.
''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.'Jennifer Cole, Senior Research Fellow, Resilience & Emergency Management, at the Royal United Services Institute said...'Everyone's looking out for signs of Ebola at the moment so they'd be very unlikely to get away with it.The other issue with Ebola is that it's very hard to control. The militants could just end up wiping themselves out before they've had the chance to pass it on.'For a suicide attack, strapping sticks of dynamite to your chest is far more effective
