Summary An outbreak of an Ebola-like virus has been reported on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, raising concerns about biological warfare and dangers to U.S. troops. But while the disease could take a major toll on Afghan refugees, U.S. forces are not likely at risk. Analysis An outbreak of a virus with effects similar to that of Ebola has been reported in Quetta, Pakistan, on the border with Afghanistan. At least 75 people have caught the disease so far and eight have died, the largest single outbreak ever, with most cases involving refugees recently arriving from Afghanistan or people living close to the border, the London-based Telegraph reported. Tensions are already high in the region over expectations of a U.S. attack on Afghanistan for harboring Osama bin Laden.
