Taliban Now Packing IEDs With HIV-Infected Syringes, Razors

Is this real? Or is this their claim, in order to reduce our troops' morale?

And if it's real -- where are they getting hospital needles from, exactly, and how do we kill the people selling them?

British troops risk being infected with HIV as Taliban fighters are hiding contaminated needles with their bombs.

Heroin syringes as well as razor blades are being buried in the ground by insurgents in Afghanistan so that they prick bomb squad experts.

It is believed that the needles, used in Helmand province, are contaminated with hepatitis and HIV as the Taliban use increasingly 'despicable' tactics.

Protective Kevlar gloves have been issued to all Royal Engineer and Royal Logistic Corps bomb search teams.

Conservative MP Patrick Mercer, a former Army officer, exposed the tactic. ‘Are there no depths to which these people will stoop?’ he told the Sun.

‘This is the definition of a dirty war.’

At some point, the nukes are going to fly, and I'm going to be okay with that.

Al Qaeda Hoax? Commenters Ed and old dirty b/tard say the HIV virus is fragile and dies quickly outside a living human host and say there's no way to store it for long periods. Ed says it dies 20 minutes outside the body.
