Canine sacrificed by locals to ward off evil spirits.
There has been a small outbreak of â??zombismâ?� in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rating killing victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of itâ??s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during â??resurrection.â?�

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

shame...

[Lurker]

just got that on other forum i think it's very possible..
there are other very rare diseases out there that could cause zombism other than this new malaria strain..

I'm sure we'd all know by now if it was possible to come back to life after death. I mean, this isn't something that would only be covered by some fringe media, especially if people like Condoleezza Rice knew about it and thought it to be a serious biological weapons threat. And there would probably be at least one hit on Google news for this crazy new word "zombism" or for the name of the town where this is supposedly happening.

P.S. Note the fact that this is pretending to be the BBC News but the URL is clearly not that of BBC News (you'll notice all the links on the page lead to the real BBC News website). Also look at the date printed on the article: April 1, 2005.
