Cables reveal S Africa at odds
with allies on al-Qaeda
…The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) cable was
among the more alarming. Besides outlining a speedboat-bombing plan, it also
wrote that al-Qaeda had experimented with biological warfare, trying
"isolate the pathogenic culture of the pneumonic plague" - with
disastrous consequences.
The
FSB wrote that an al-Qaeda base reportedly became contaminated, leading to
the deaths of 40 fighters and the abandonment of a site in eastern Algeria.
