From the introduction: Throughout 1998, tensions between Iraq and the West have been escalating. Led by the United States, teams of UN inspectors attempted to determine whether Saddam Hussein had been developing biological weapons of mass destruction since the Gulf War of 1991. No solid evidence was discovered; however, paranoia remained high as Iraqi soldiers refused the UN teams access to some locations. On the 22nd of September, 1998, such suspicions were shown to be well-founded. Apparently in response to a European Economic Union decision to impose further economic sanctions on Iraq, missiles exploded over many of the cities of Europe. Bucharest. Stockholm. Bonn. London. Ankara. Rome. On the first day, people across Europe woke to the booming of missiles exploding overhead. By noon on the second day, thousands were suffering from pounding headaches and hot flushes. By midnight these people were also complaining of severe cramps and blood in their bodily wastes. The evening news declared that the water supply of many cities had been contaminated by an unknown pathogen. By sunset on the third day, the victims of Iraq's biological weapon were suffering from haemorrhages and open wounds all over their body. The blood refused to clot; most bled to death by morning. Newspapers and TVs screamed a name for this disease, a name coined by a Fleet Street tabloid: the Sunset Plague.
