AT least 20 people were attacked and bitten by vampire bats as they returned home from work in the jungle community of Mansiche, Peru, a top official at the Ministry of Health said.
Luis Suarez, the head of the ministry's Office of Epidemiology, today said that the attacks occurred late Tuesday.
Victims panicked, fearing the bats were infected with rabies. But tests on the victims and several of the bats were negative, Suarez said.
The Ministry of Health yesterday launched an information campaign to inform people in the region on rabies prevention and control, Suarez said

Richard Clarke said he warned Bush the vampires would attack. It's all in the book.
