TERRORIST SOUGHT FOR STORING WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION THAT FELLED CONNECTICUT FIREFIGHTERS

Following a massive flea attack Tuesday on Connecticut firefighters, Reginald Farnsworth, foreign correspondent for London’s Daily Bugle, cornered Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to inquire about the Waterbury flea infestation.

Napolitano admitted that Ahmed Muhammad Mustafa al Ibaba is believed to have stored this latest biological weapon of mass destruction in an abandoned Waterbury house. The fleas weapon is believed to be much more virulent than last year’s bed bugs weapons that struck New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Denver. The Pakistani native and suspected al Qaeda operative is being sought by the FBI. When asked if al Ibaba had been planning to unleash the fleas in New York, the head of Homeland Security would only say, "No comment."

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and police commissioner Raymond Kelly said they were much relived that this biological weapon of mass destruction had been discovered before al Ibaba was able to unleash it in New York City. Bloomberg said that the city was still suffering from a decline in tourism because of last year’s massive bed bugs infestation attack.

A team of firemen, who were left coated in thousands of fleas when they went to an abandoned house, had to be tested for plague.

The crew from Connecticut were conducting a routine safety check at an abandoned building in the town of Waterbury when they were besieged by the insects.

They returned to their truck itching like mad to discover they were absolutely covered in fleas.

The team rushed themselves to hospital and had to strip-off completely before going inside in case they brought the insects in with them.

They were examined by doctors and found to be absolutely covered in bites before being scrubbed down and tested for a number of potential illnesses including bubonic plague.

Fire Chief David Martin said all of the team had been given the all clear and are back at work.

He told Waterbury Republican-American: 'One of the guys described it as they had thousands of them, crawling on them.

'I've been doing this for 23 years, and I've never heard of anything like it. It's not your typical work hazard, that's for sure.'

The truck had to be taken out of service so it could be fumigated, and the firemens' clothing was washed at ultra-high temperatures to kill off any remaining fleas.
