 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - The virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu has been detected outside Kuala Lumpur, one year after Malaysia was declared free of the disease, the government said Wednesday.
A statement released by the Department of Veterinary Services said 60 birds were reported Saturday to have died within three days in Paya Jaras Hilir village in Selangor state, which surrounds Malaysia's main city, Kuala Lumpur.
Tests on Tuesday confirmed they had died of H5N1, Ramlee Rahmat, deputy director-general of public health, told The Associated Press.
