CAIRO, Egypt - Bird flu has killed in Turkey on the northern fringe of the Middle East, and residents in the Arab lands to the south fear migrating birds have already spread the virus to their countries.
No cases have been confirmed despite scares in Lebanon and Iraq, but many Arabs have stopped eating chicken, health officials are stockpiling medicine, poultry flocks have been culled and citizens have been warned to be alert for dead birds and people with symptoms of the disease."
