THE Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula in collaboration with the dreaded Islamic militant group, Boko Haram are said to have invented a deadly vaccine,

which is to be deployed in attacks on high targets, sources in government said at the weekend.



It was learnt that part of the latest discoveries of some security agencies is the claim that the Al-Qaeda in Arabia Peninsular had collaborated with Boko Haram to develop a special vaccine, said to be twice as deadly as cobra venom, and is meant to be deployed by suicide attackers on some high target operations.

Sources further confirmed that the vaccines are due to be first launched in West Africa and that the dreaded Nigerian based group, Boko Haram is the source of deployment.

Said a source in the know: “It has been discovered that the Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram have collaborated to develop a special vaccine, its name is not quite clear at this stage but it was confirmed that the vaccine is made from seed and it is reputed to be twice as deadly as cobra venom. Information about the deadly vaccine is being shared at top levels of intelligence all over the world.”

Sources further stated that the plan of the terror groups behind the discovery of the vaccine is to ensure key targets are not missed once they are pinpointed and that the security cordon around them are thwarted.

According to one of the sources, the groups plan to brief some suicide attackers who would be made to gain considerable access to a VIP and then deploy the deadly venom.

A syringe-like device has also been developed to shoot the vaccine towards the target in a well-funded suicide mission, a source said adding however that some top agencies have got wind of the new plan.

And so the war of ignorance begins.

Not that al qaeda or BH wouldn't try anything and everything, but this is nothing but fairy tales.

Reporters have to be schooled on the definition of the simplest things.

How anyone could release, for the consumption of thousands, an article fraught with misuse of the word vaccine to mean biological weapons, is totally beyond understanding.

Vaccines are meant to improve immune systems. If an organism's genome has been genetically engineered to cause grave harm to the immune system, it is no longer a vaccine.

That said, ugly trends including unproven "beer-parlour" like news designed to cause sensation within the populace should be treated as an urgent issue. It's becoming disgusting when reporters depend on unproven sources, either imagined or real, as the only evidence before disseminating such news that could result in panic.
