| Bird flu scare: Human spread?

(CNN) -- The World Health Organization says a cluster of bird flu cases in Indonesia may have been caused by human-to-human transmission.
An outbreak of bird flu that infected at least seven Indonesian family members earlier this month in north Sumatra was not a mutated version of the often deadly H5N1 form of the virus, World Health Organization spokesman Peter Cordingley told CNN.
However, there were concerns the virus may have been spread by human-to-human contact, he said.
"We have not had a cluster as large as this -- seven people in an extended family," Cordingley said.
