British lab tests have confirmed the H5N1 strain of bird flu has been found in Romania, Romania's Agriculture Ministry said Saturday. Agriculture Ministry spokesman Adrian Tibu said agriculture and veterinary officials were holding an emergency meeting Saturday morning with Interior Ministry officials and local leaders to decide how to respond to the outbreak. Scientists are tracking the H5N1 strain in migratory birds for fear it could mutate into a form easily transmitted between humans. H5N1 was discovered this week in Turkey. Romania's remote Ceamurlia de Jos area, where bird flu was first found in Romania, was under isolation, and thousands of birds have been culled as a precaution. More than 12,000 birds had been killed in the area by late Friday, The Associated Press reported. --SP 1343 Local Time 1043 GMT
