S. Sulawesi site of 48th bird flu death...

The government confirmed Thursday another person had died of bird flu, as the nation hardest hit by H5N1 continues to battle a disease that is feared could one day spark a global pandemic.
The 48th fatality from the virus was a woman from South Sulawesi province who died in June, said Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari, adding that infected birds were found dead in the same area.
"This we know from the results of the (tests by the) Health Ministry's Research and Development Board last night (Wednesday)," Siti said as quoted by AFP.
