KABUL: A US military spokeswoman said 14 US personnel at the main American

military base in Afghanistan had swine flu but were treated successfully.

 

 

 

Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker says the cases were reported in June at

the Bagram Air Base, the main U.S. base north of Kabul, and that all have

recovered.

 

Sidenstricker could not say whether the cases were among the 14,000 military

personnel living and working at the base or among the 5,000 civilians there.

 

 

The UN World Health Organization reported that as of Monday more than 94,000

had contracted the disease, with 429 deaths worldwide.
