Taliban using HIV bombs

[that dude173]

[h2]TALIBAN fighters are burying dirty needles with their bombs in a bid to infect British troops with HIV, The Sun can reveal. [/h2]Hypodermic syringes are hidden below the surface pointing upwards to prick bomb squad experts as they hunt for devices.
The heroin needles are feared to be contaminated with hepatitis and HIV. And if the bomb goes off, the needles become deadly flying shrapnel.

Deadly ... needles become flying shrapnel
The tactic, used in the Afghan badlands of Helmand, was exposed by Tory MP and ex-Army officer Patrick Mercer.
Senior backbencher Mr Mercer said yesterday: "Are there no depths to which these people will stoop? This is the definition of a dirty war."

Razor blades are also being used. All Royal Engineer and Royal Logistic Corps bomb search teams have been issued with protective Kevlar gloves.

STAFF Sergeant Kim Hughes, who cleared an entire minefield in 2009, will be awarded the George Cross by the Queen today.

I don't think they'll use them though.

No. Once the HIV hits the air it dies. OP is just a moron and reads the SUN.

There we go, job jobbed. Still quite horrific though, war (and especially the cat and mouse world of EOD) is a dirty business.

It's not quite as bad but it's a tabloid newspaper - as opposed to a respectable paper.

I'm almost 100% sure the heat from the bomb blast would kill the HIV virus instantly, if it isn't already dead after being buried, and hidden in the earths soil.

Myth Busted.

After 9/11 Bush's approval ratings were so high he could've nuked Afghanistan and it would've been alright. Could've ended this 9 years ago.

If people can't survive the explosions, why would our diseases be able to?

 

[manglor]

Seems "unpossible".

[rowenarrow]

Things like this are very possible though. I am a former soldier, who was a CLS (Combat Life Saver) and I took many classes on what these guys would use as a weapon. I have even seen it for myself, broken glass with anti-tank mines, Soda-can bombs, Piano wire kites. They are a resourceful bunch.

 

[scotty pimpin]

Propeganda propeganda propeganda. Where the hell is the Taliban gonna get HIV from huh? Magic Johnson and porn stars?

cmon son. We thought sadam had anthrax until we found out it was some white guy from virginia. The news is so fake.

 

[rowenarrow]

No doubt this is fake, but them taking dirty needles and sticking them in IEDs that is do able.

 

[youngw951]

that sounds like son onion news type stuff
