I know the Sun isn't a great source, but I see no reason to doubt it in this case. It's neither an extra-ordinary or controversial claim. The fact that the same story was reported by three, admittedly poor, papers would seem to lend credence to it.

Repeating BS 3 times doesnt make it true.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah, I'd like to see it confirmed by some other source.

OK, that's a little more credible. Here's my question: while the bubonic plague is indeed deadly and terror-inducing, it's not transmissible as an aerosol, or even via water - it must be physically introduced into bodily fluids (e.g., flea bite.) Wouldn't that make a pretty poor bio-weapon?
