Chlorine and Cholera by Eric Umansky. The gist of it:

There is a spreading Cholera epidemic in Iraq (already reaching major cities such as Baghdad). The epidemic can spread so fast because the lack of Chlorine to disinfect the water. Chlorine was used in terrorist attacks which caused a lot of media attention and a lot of fear in the Iraqi government despite the fact that not a single person was killed by the attacks. So the import of Chlorine was put under restrictions.

This is really bitter irony. But so common these days. People do not seem to realize that terror is not about explosions but terrorising people and thus trick them into doing stupid things. Refuse to be terrorized!
