Fecal Jihad–Holy E. coli: Chocolate Cake Allah Load?

As reported in the Daily Mail, 2/11/08? 

Two shop-owners were today fined for selling chocolate cake – which had been sprinkled with human faeces. A horrified customer ate the foul-smelling gateaux but noticed that it didn’t taste or smell “quite right” and handed the cake to public health scientists. The analysts soon established that the sweet treat was covered in faeces and legal proceedings against the shop owners were started. Shop owners Saeed Hasmi, 25, and Jan Yadgari, 23, were fined £1,500 for selling food unfit for human consumption. The pair – who ran the Italiano Pizzeria in Roath, Cardiff – admitted the charge but did not say how the chocolate cake was contaminated.

As Spencer notes,  

Poisoning food with feces is detailed as a tactic in the Al-Qaeda manual (here, continued here) found a few years ago by British intelligence. 

Stool extracts prepared as outlined in the Al-Qaeda Manual may be a rich source of E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria, including strains potentially resistant to antibiotics.
