Jordan and Israel bird flu talks

Jordanian and Israeli agricultural officials have met to discuss co-ordinating efforts to combat bird flu, officials say.
The director general of the Israeli health ministry has admitted that a local outbreak of bird flu is likely to happen soon.

The two states lie in the path of birds migrating from countries which have confirmed cases of bird flu.

Turkey, Russia and Romania have detected the virus' lethal strain.

At least 60 people in Asia have died after contracting flu from birds infected by the H5N1 strain.
