An Iraqi Kurdish girl who died earlier this month of suspected bird flu did have the deadly H5N1 virus, the Iraqi health minister said Monday.

Abdel Mutalib Mohammed Ali told reporters that Shanjin Abdel Qader, 14, had contracted H5N1, despite initial reports from a World Health Organization laboratory in Amman saying test results were negative.

This is not good! No wonder they are briefing us this week on it, here in Germany, as our troops could bring this back!

Pray for our troops! This could be very bad for them!
