With infected people there, bin Laden and the AQ network have
ample supply of Ebola that spreads by the air currents and by
sneezes and coughs to spray a dose in the NY, Chicago, or Boston
subways and infect 100,000's of people who will die within 5
days of contracting the disease. The scientists most
knowledgeable about Ebola have either disappeared or have been
murdered in Florida, Australia and Massachusetts, etc. What is
significant about this is that these people would be the best
to develop an "antidote" for this strain of Ebola. He said
scientists usually develop an antidote WHILE they are studying
a new virus.
Quayle said this is a very "big" story and the media has said
nothing. Were they told to keep quiet?
According to Steve Quayle, Ebola has spread into Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Iran. There are 140 quarantine camps for the
many people dying of Ebola. It is only 3-5 days before death
after symptoms start(?) or after E. is contracted. Quayle
said the virus must be air-borne to have spread so quickly
to Iran. Usually it is spread by mucus contamination.
Quayle said people may have to seal themselves off in a room
with a bathroom for 14 days till the virus plays itself out.
It weakens in sunlight UV and at certain temperatures. He
said to watch the westerly winds and air currents that could
carry an outbreak to your area.

Ebola Kills 17
The Monitor (Kampala)
December 10, 2001
Posted to the web December 10, 2001
Seventeen people have died in a village in the southeastern
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following a presumed epidemic
of hemorrhagic fever, the World Health Organization (WHO) said
Saturday.
The WHO had sent a team of biologists and epidemiologists to
Mbisangando village, 600 kilometers (375 miles) southeast of
Kinshasa to fight the epidemic of the life-threatening disease.
The team, equipped with four tonnes of medical and decontamination
supplies, had set up near the affected village in Kasai Occidental
province to determine the nature of the epidemic, the WHO said.
It has so far not succeeded in determining whether the epidemic was
viral hemorrhagic fever or even Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

Ebola haemorrhagic fever in Gabon - WHO Update 2
------------------------------------------------
GENEVA: A team of scientists from the World Health Organization
(WHO) and its partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response
Network has arrived in Gabon to help coordinate the international
response to an outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the Ogooue-
Ivindo Province in the northeastern part of the country.
Laboratory testing carried out at the Centre International de Recherches
Médicales de Franceville (CIRMF) in Gabon indicates that the cause of
the haemorrhagic fever outbreak is Ebola virus. For Gabon, this is the
fourth Ebola outbreak since 1994. All outbreaks have been in the
central and northeastern regions of the country. As of Wed 12 Dec
2001, WHO has received reports of 10 deaths from haemorrhagic fever
among a total of 12 suspected cases [including one confirmed. -
Mod.JW].
The Gabon Ministry of Health has established a national task force for
managing the response to the epidemic. WHO is supporting the
Ministry of Health and this Task Force in disease containment by:
- coordinating the international response to the outbreak;
- implementing disease control measures, such as barrier nursing
procedures;
- finding cases, tracing contacts and monitoring them;
- supplying protective equipment.
Dr Ray Arthur, an expert virologist, and a team of 3 colleagues from
WHO headquarters in Geneva, Dr Adamou Yada from the WHO
African Regional Office, together with Dr Herve Zeller from Institute
Pasteur in Paris, France, have arrived in Gabon. Other partners in the
Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network are expected to arrive
soon in Gabon. "WHO and its partners will work with the Gabonese
authorities to contain the disease and to prevent any potential spread in
local communities. It is very important that there is an effective and
coordinated international response to this outbreak," said Dr Mike
Ryan, Coordinator of Global Alert and Response at WHO headquarters.
Ebola haemorrhagic fever is one of the most virulent viral diseases
known to humankind, causing death in 50-90% of cases. Ebola virus is
transmitted by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of infected
persons. Ebola virus was first identified in 1976 in the western
equatorial province of Sudan and in the nearby region of Yambuku,
northern Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire).
Gabon's first verified Ebola outbreak occurred in December 1994 in
gold mining encampments. Investigators studying the outbreak were
told of unexplained deaths of great apes, gorillas, and chimpanzees, but
no dead animals were found. The outbreak ended 6 weeks later. In
1996, 2 other Ebola epidemics were confirmed in the spring and fall. In
early February 1996, about 40 km south (7 hours by boat) from the
1994 outbreak, 13 people became ill after butchering a dead
chimpanzee they had found. In October of that year, another Ebola
epidemic was confirmed in the same general region.
