Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
MOSCOW, March 15 (UPI) -- The head of Russia's Communist Party says the outbreak of bird flu in a number of European countries, including Russia, is a plot by the United States.
"It's strange that not a single duck has yet died in America -- they are all dying in Russia and European countries. This makes one seriously wonder why," Gennady Zyuganov said at a news conference at the offices of the Interfax news agency Tuesday.
Zyuganov, 65, said that he learned all about biological warfare during his time in the army. "I tested all kinds of war gases at a range myself," he said.
Asked whether he believes the bird flu outbreak could be a deliberate attack by the United States, Zyuganov said: "I not only suggest this, I know very well how this can be arranged. There is nothing strange here."
