Bird flu hits third Indian state

Authorities in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh have begun slaughtering 7,000 chickens after identifying a case of the deadly H5N1 bird flu strain. A senior official said one sample of tests on poultry in the state's Ichapur area had tested positive. Meanwhile in neighbouring Maharashtra state's Jalgaon district a cull of about 250,000 birds is under way. India's first bird flu outbreak was reported last month but so far there have been no cases among humans.
