Just when you think you have 101 ways to fight your enemies, God has more than 1001 ways to fight them. Who could have imagine that Ebola virus will be the weapon God want to use to deal with the ISIS Militants.
In as much as am praying for God to put an end to Ebola virus in the world, am also praying, if it's going to prove efficient, that God should use it to wipe out the last of those that kills our brethren.
Well, the World Health Organization is investigating reports that ISIS militants have...
contracted the deadly Ebola virus and are seeking help at a hospital in Mosul in Iraq.
The virus, which has claimed thousands of lives in West Africa, is believed to have been brought to the city by jihadists from several different countries.
WHO spokesman Christy Feig confirmed that the health agency is reaching out to ISIS officials in the region to gather more information, The Daily Mail noted on Friday.
Feig said that the Iraqi government hasn't yet responded to the news of possible Ebola cases in the country.
An unconfirmed number of jihadists apparently sought treatment at the hospital in Mosul, which was captured by ISIS earlier this year.
Local newspaper al Sabaah has claimed that the virus was brought to Mosul by terrorists arriving from several countries in Africa.
ISIS captured several cities across Iraq and Syria in 2014, and has been seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region. Confirmation of Ebola cases will likely be difficult, however, as U.N. workers are prohibited from entering militant-controlled areas.
The militants have become known for executing prisoners, including women and children, and giving Christians and other religious minorities an option to convert to slam, pay a tax or be killed. Over a dozen doctors have reportedly been executed by ISIS in recent weeks for refusing to treat their injured fighters.
The Daily Mail pointed out that there is no information on whether doctors still working in Mosul are trained or equipped to fight a possible Ebola outbreak.
Since Ebola shares symptoms with other diseases including malaria and yellow fever, it is also possible that the cases so far have been misdiagnosed.
It is also not know how many fighters from West African countries could have joined ISIS, though tens of thousands of foreigners and several other jihadist groups have reportedly rallied under the Islamic State banner.
Nigerian terror group Boko Haram also pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2014 — Nigeria experienced its own scare with Ebola after a number of cases of the virus were reported, but the country was declared Ebola-free by October
