Bubonic Plague Samples Reported Missing
Samples of Bubonic Plague Reported Missing From Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

The Associated Press
 
LUBBOCK, Texas Jan. 15 —
Authorities on Wednesday were looking into the apparent theft of samples of bubonic plague from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

A report was made late Tuesday to the Tech police and city officials in Lubbock were preparing a statement Wednesday morning, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported on its online edition.

Information on the precise number of vials reportedly taken was not available.

Bubonic plague is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by a bacterium named Yersinia pestis. People usually get it from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal.

The disease is treatable with antibiotics.

You don't have to steal it out of a lab.

You can just pick up some infected Prairie Dogs and raise their fleas and spread the old fashioned Middle Ages way.

You have to keep terrorism on the front burner, otherwise the Bush/Blair war on Terror will be much harder to sell.

Already the initiative is losing ground. Hence the reason they want to go into Iraq Yesterday and not in the Fall.
