*** Bubonic plague confirmed in Namibia

WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) - Local medical authorities confirmed Monday
an outbreak of the bubonic plague in Namibia's populous north-central
region that has killed three of the 73 people with the disease. Dr.
Naftali Hamata of the Namibian health ministry said tests done at the
South African Institute for Medical Research last week showed that
six of 11 samples sent for analysis proved positive for bubonic
plague. He said the other five cases may also still prove positive,
but more testing must be done. Bubonic plague, also known as the
Black Death, killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe between
1346 and 1351, wiping out nearly one-third of the population. See
