BBC Southeast Asia.
There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” 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 it’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 “resurrection.”
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.

Nevermind, I think it's a hoax, I can't find anything to corraborate it and I can't find it on the BBC via the search feature.
Scary though.

The fact that I received this "news" story from three genuinely frightened people today finally explains how Bush got reelected.
Even if it was true, zombies are slow and easy to kill.
I read an article years ago about real zombies in Jamaica, I beleive. I was pretty interesting stuff.
No no no, offend, please. What a re-re I am
The sad thing is, I'm kind of disappointed that there aren't really zombies, I had my hopes up.
