Here is a BBC report on the recent outbreak of a strain of malaria which is 100% fatal and "re-animates" the victims after a space of two days, after which time they are extremely violent.

In case you don't know, this is actually a joke link.

Fake.

First: URL. It's an IP address.
Second: The map in the upper left highlights the Mid-East. Cambonia is in Southeast Asia.
Third: All the links on the right are about Syria and Lebanon.
Fourth: If you click the "Print Article" it comes up with a article about Syria-Lebanon.

I don't think it's real. Nice job of modifying a BBC web page though.

Fifth: The image has Arabic on it. They don't speak Arabic in Cambodia.

Cute prank.

Zombies seem to get a lot of press. The best book I've read is by Wade Davis, called "The Serpent and the Rainbow." Davis is an anthropologist who spent a lot of time studying (I kid thee not) zombification in Haiti.

Worth the read. I won't spoil the story for you. He's got a super flashy website: http://www.wade-davis.com/

Wow.

"They have an incredible biological weapon that should be destroyed immediatly."

Except it kills the person its in and makes them attack everything nearby. Useful eh?

And what about the anthrax? We keep that, don't we?

Wow. I was expecting a Gotcha Gag dragging over the links like that one Fake CNN Zombie Attack page did. Aside from the obviously different address, this was pretty damn convincing.

Be great for a zombie roleplaying game though.

I refer the honourable gentleman to this link (http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=93720)

And even if this is false, there are many other documented cases.

Also, this is a chance to promote! Zombie hunters guild (http://s8.invisionfree.com/Zombie_Hunters_Guild)

Man, I pulled this stunt earlier this month I I sure as Hell wasn't the first.

How many times is this article going to be reposted before it dies?

Actually, this was the first thread on the fake zombie news article, it has been resurrected for some reason.

LOL, I saw another fake article for Cambodia where 42 midgets were klled in a set of gladitorial games.

That's the first time I read the article and I thought 'no way'.
Starting the heart isn't the same as making the victim walk, that'd take brain processes such as balance.
So I started looking for a fake clue, and the April 1st date at the top sprung out!
