Possible foot-and-mouth outbreak reported in Kufra
By George Grant.
London, 13 November:
Reports have emerged from the southern town of Kufra that a possible foot-and-mouth (FMD) outbreak has begun to infect livestock there.
Suspicions were raised following the death of five cows on one of the farms, with at least two livestock barns feared to have been infected in the town.
Tests have yet to confirm the presence of the disease, but have been flown to Benghazi for analysis.
It is believed that the disease is likely to have been brought to Kufra by imported livestock, much of which comes from nearby Sudan, which has suffered numerous outbreaks of FMD disease in recent years...
