A half-dead man crashes his car at the Iraqi border. He is found to have suffered a rare reaction to the smallpox vaccine. But why are the Iraqi's innoculating their population against a disease which has been wiped out for twenty years?

A nation which would be only too willing to hold the world to ransom...
