H5N1 News: Anger, Fears Grow in Turkey

An AFP newswire article, via PhysOrg.com, reports that:

An angry crowd on Monday mobbed Turkey's health minister in this remote eastern town, home of the country's first bird flu deaths, as Ankara reported more human cases of the lethal disease, raising alarms over its menacing westward advance.

Some 100 people were awaiting test results, including 10 from Istanbul, the country's business hub on the doorstep of Europe, where the presence of the disease among poultry has already been confirmed, officials said.
