ISIS (Islamic State) plan to spread bubonic plague is found on laptop

Islamic State militants are trying to get hold of biological weapons and are studying ways of developing bubonic plague, raising fears that they are planning devastating attacks on civilians.

Documents found on a laptop belonging to an Isis fighter appear to show that the group has explored options to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Just as al-Qaeda spent years trying to get such weapons, it appears that Isis, now the world’s richest terrorist organisation, has followed suit.

The computer was found at a former Isis hideout by fighters from a moderate Syrian rebel group.
