Several swine flu cases have been detected among U.S. soldiers passing through Kuwait, officials said Saturday.
The soldiers were treated on a U.S. base and some of them have left the country, the state news agency quoted a Health Ministry official as saying. The official, Ibrahim Abdul-Hadi, did not say how many soldiers were infected or where they were traveling from.
The U.S. Embassy said cases have "tentatively" been confirmed without providing details. It said the soldiers did not come into contact with the Kuwaiti population.
"Each case was characterized as being a mild flu-like symptom," the American military said in a statement. "All but ... a couple have been treated and returned to duty." No further details were provided.
Oil-rich Kuwait is an ally of Washington and a logistics base for U.S. military personnel serving in Iraq.
The Kuwaiti health official said no other swine flu cases have been detected in the country.

Not good but very survivable. The Muslims will have something else to riot about when it finally hits them in big numbers.
Its hitting them as much as anyone else already. Muslims just don’t want to report swine flu. 2 cases in the world in muslim countries. Baloney.
A Jooooish plot???
Exactly...
You know, a visual just popped into my head.
Jews: Roadrunner
Muslims: Wile E. Coyote
It should be unclean and blasphemous for a muslim to contract swine flu....
